John Fahey would have been another Martin Gibson of Mudcat... No... Worse...

And as for his music??? Hey, sometimes he got it right but other times he went too far out to pull it back in... I mean, it's great to take chances thinking that you are invincable and can solve any problem you have created but he did cause himself alot of unnecessary problems, painted himself into hopeless corners and then changed the subject in the middle of pieces that never resolved the problems he created... I think it was because he was so drunk and spaced out that he really couldn't concentrate enough to make anything work without pullin' out his standard solutions...

hey, don't get me wrong... Some of John's stuff was good... Real good... But alot of it was junk...

BTW, I'm from the DC area and I heard him several times...

BTW, Part B... I also play alot of intricate figerpick, open tuning stuff so I do have a basic understanding of structure and lack there of...
