C'était un personnage. J'adore ce gars. J'ai une de ses méthodes. Si vous aimez ce style il faut que vous écoutiez Leo Kottke.

One of the best American folk acoustic tunes ever....

I worked my regular shift today. We responded to an 'unknown problem' early in the afternoon. Upon our arrival, we found an elderly man, homeless, passed out against a dumpster on a Waffle House parking lot, with large open sores on both his shins. Flies were buzzing around the man and landing on his sores. His legs below the knees were red with infection and his feet were swollen. We woke him up and he got a bit perturbed with us. The area was strewn with liquor bottles, cigarettes, food and his little bag of belongings. We requested an ambulance for him.It arrived, but after he was able to compose himself he did not want medical attention, anything to do with us and for that matter any handouts. In fact what I thought he owned were handouts from well wishers and Samaritans, the booze, cigarettes, food and clothing. He threw the money he had been given at us and told us to give it away. I wanted him to go get medical attention, but he would not have it. We advised him that police were on their way. We could not persuade him to go by ambulance to the hospital. Before we left, I came up him again. He threw the money at me. I told him that I could not accept it. I suggested he give it to a church. Just then he looked up at me with an earnest smile. He extended his hand and I accepted his handshake. At that moment I did not care where his hands had been. For the rest of the day I would think about that old man and his situation, praying and hoping for intervention. I have encountered refusals like this before. I don't understand that and it is painful to witness. Sometimes my body feels older than my mind, but it is these instances that really were down my soul and I struggle for a timewith the downside of humanity.

Great song. Fahey is a fantastic player. Too bad he forgets what a poor man goes thru to earn money to afford to buy a ticket and he doesn't show up to play. Got no respect for douch bags like that.

Amazing music. Oh yes

An awesome elaboration on the classic "John Hardy". "John Hardy was a desperate little man, carried two guns every day". Brilliant as usual.

This one slays me.

This music evokes the memory i have of seeing john play passim's in cambridge in 1979 or so. The room was very small a handful of tables, John played one of his long long ragas as the snow fell outside and behind him through the french doors behind the small stage. After a bit he stopped to smoke a cigarette and then played again............a wonderful memory

John had the spirit of a pioneer, weary of the endless, badminton banter of settled folk.

One of my favorite Fahey songs.

Thomas Edison was a tyrant and a corporatist. Nikola Tesla wanted to electrify the entire world, entirely for free. but thank you for this video. its really charming

this is, as always has been, magical.

Just think of the epic guitar players we wouldn't have without John's influence. Wish I could have seen him.

Pick for Peace!

@nighttripper84 The basic tuning John Fahey used for this piece is GGDGBD. This is essentially open G tuning, but with the two base strings tuned in unison. This requires tuning your "A" string down a whole tone and the "E" string up two whole tones. Doing this puts quite a bit of tension on your "E" string. To remedy this, you can tune everything down a half tone. That is precisely what John Fahey does in this version. In reality then, the tuning used here is F#-F#-C#-F#-A#-C#.
