...Always glad to be exposed to some more Sonny Landreth. I think of him as like the Jeff Beck of slide (somebody said that to me I'm sure) - in that it comes down to his touch & what he's doing is kinda mysterious !...

I saw Fahey in small club in Pasadena in 1981 the small audience kept bringing beers up to him and he was quite inebriated by the end of the evening.

I had the opportunity to see him in 2002. He played solo and was greeting people and selling his own CD's at the door. Fantastic guitar player! People forget that. Two months later he was dead. :(

Van Ronk was kind of the Alexis Korner of the Village folk scene.
poor guy bat himself up with drink.
