Recently I was in the Denver Folklore Center, a truly amazing place festooned with wonderful instruments, CDs, videos and books. The owner graciously invited me to play one of his special prized guitars... one previously owned by the late bluesman from MS. This one was obviously not for sale.

Wow! I'm not sure I'd have the balls to play a single note on John's axe. No-one is worthy. Nice playing though.11 years ago
