Whoa,,,,,For a first time visitor to MudCat,,,,,,so many people who even know who Mississippi John was. And Jack Elliott, Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Spider John Krohner, Eric Von Schmidt, Jim Kweskin, so many names flooding back from the late nights of the 60's. Speak to me, oh friends of the silk and steel.

You are so right, John was so gentle, so very much at peace with his music and the joy it brought. Music still rings from the shotgun house in Clarksdale.
