One of my cherished possessions is a copy of the album made from the sessions he recorded for Dick Spottswood after being rediscovered. Mississippi John autographed it for me at one of the early Newport Festivals. The record's in fine shape, but the jacket is now falling apart, so I'm thinking of having it framed. God, what a beautiful, gentle man he was!
karen k knew Mississippi John much better than I did. Where are you, Karen? I thought you were going to add to this thread.
