Thanks Justa. Excellent article. Once again, I know the sad stuff is hard to take, but I feel it's essential in trying to understand someone's life. The similarities between John and Skip james are fascinating. I strongly suggest that if anyone wants to really get into this, they read Stephen Calt's "Skip" book, "I'd Rather Be the Devil"

I'm quite taken with how Fahey seemed impervious to sycophancy, in a field (collecting songs and the musicians who sang them) where it's often the only way to get close to some.

I'm really starting to like the guy. He had guts.
