Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Candy Man Blues-by Mississippi John Hurt
Ken,

Pat's CDs are still available. However, if you are wanting to hear the scope and depth of his writing and playing, you might avoid "Songs that made America famous" as a first choice. Almost any other is better. STMAF is the ultimate protest recording--but Pat's serious writing is on other albums. Pat is one of my favourite all-time people, and a great songwriter. He is also one of the funniest folks that ever lived.
