Yes, Mary, the ducks are still there, or so I hear!

In 1975, I visited with Jesse Hurt, Mississippi John's wife, in Grenada, MS. She was a rather gracious lady. She allowed me to enjoy John's guitar for a while. She had some of the recordings made shortly after his "rediscovery", however, she said she would not play them whenever she was alone, because "John would come into the room".

She told me of their son, John, Jr. She said he could play like his daddy. Unfortunately, I have never heard him. He responded to a Greenwood, MS newspaper article a few years ago, and said he lived in Detroit. I have never heard of his having made any recordings. Have any of you heard of him, or heard his music?
