This is such a great acoustic guitar earth shattering album...1963?

After they finally found him, I mean...I cannot believe it took like 35 years. Without MJH, there might not have been John Fahey, and without Fahey???

I never get tired of his music. From the stories I've heard, he was also a lovely person.

Such lovely playing and singing and his gentle soul shines through in his music. I think his Louis Collins is the only murder ballad sung from the point of view of the victim’s mother. That to me says a lot about what kind of man he was.

This is my favorite one of his, well, this and Louis...Just the stuff MJH did with the E string while playing C and G chords. I hear it and think, Oh I can do this...then I go pick up my F30r and am like a deer in headlights. Wait, how is he doing this?

oh man, wait, this one maybe is now my fave lol
