Now the white blues people:

Rory Block! Terraplane blues, (Robert Johnson)

Live:



Here is my teach, Backwards Sam Firk, playing Old country Dump,

Mike Stewart, RIP:



I have a lot of Firk stories🙂

He recorded around 1962 on Fonotone Records, a couple of tracks with John Fahey but this I believe is pure Firk.

Here is Firk and John Fahey, Black swampers Blues. John and Mike, RIP.



The great Ry Cooder:

Vigilante Man (Woody Guthrie)

Another virtuoso, Leo Kottke. I first heard him around 1963. Reading the album liner I thought it was a joke and it was really John Fahey!
