Thread Name: Mississippi John Hurt
Subject: Mississippi John Hurt
Another great night to stare at my wall (there's a Bob Dylan poster on it, or I can choose the other wall, with a reproduction of Kandinsky, depending on how I feel) while listening to Mississippi John Hurt for the first time, reading a little about him, his incredible rediscover in the 50's - 60's, wondering how he can play guitar like this. A real discover.

I would like to read toughts of folks here about him, what do you think about his music, if you ever assist to one of his shows, what do you know about him or his songs (history, anecdotes) or if you were ever able to play his music. Any toughts would be appreciated.
