Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt
At an FSGW program in the DC area (back in the 90's) I got a chance to meet TOM HOSKINS and hear the wonderful story of "discovering" MJH in the early 60's.
Has this story been chronicled on Mudcat in previous threads? I found a snippet of this tale over here --

Part of that workshop included a handwritten biography of MJH which I've kept in the archives.
