Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt
I play a jazzed-up version of Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me (in a different key)
Yeah, it's the same tune as Waiting for a Train

I don't play many MJH songs, but I feel like I do, cos there's so many songs that I play in ways derived entirely from his style. I only play Mermaids and Blue Harvest Blues.

I've always meant to learn Avalon, Beulah Land and Blind Old Man Sat down in the road and Cried, Monday Morning Blues and a few others.
