If any one is thinking of downloading this, don't, you'll be missing out on a really nice booklet with stories and photos. Buy the hard copy.

And then buy the excellent Biography published last year for full details of John's fascinating life story including all the people involved in his "rediscovery".
Highly reccomended

Thank you for this posting. I met Tom Hoskins at a Mississippi John Hurt workshop held during the Folklore Society of Greater Washington (FSGW) Getaway program back in the early part of the 1990s. I didn't know who Tom (Wolf) was at the time but later learned that I had touched a part of the mainstream Blues Revival of the early 1960s.
