khandu Mississippi John Hurt (97* d) RE: Mississippi John Hurt 01 Jun 07

Poppa,
The "instructional" part of the DVD is done by John Miller. The silent footage is an added bonus. I bought the DVD for the silent footage and was very pleased.
Miller's instructive style is very good. A beginning (yet diligent) guitarist could learn quite easily. (That is to say, the "learning" how to do it is quite easy...the actual playing would still be a challenge!) I have recommended this DVD to several MJH neophytes, and to more advanced players, with mixed results.

Regarding the MJH festival...as usual, it is "iffy". If possible, I will be there. But I have said that for 5 years and have not yet made it.
Greenwood would be your best bet for accomodations. It is the nearest town to the festival and has a number of motels.

BTW...MJH is not bald. He has a full head of closely cropped hair!
