I met John Hurt through Mike Seger in Newport in '63. His agent, Tom Hopkins said we could sit and talk. Of course it was a festival and I was sitting backstage with him and a few people. A month or so later he was playing at the Philadelphia folk festival. I saw him approaching me and I started walking briskly to him to ask if he remembered me, I was in my early 20s, and when I got near enough, he said 'Hey Man! Do you remember me!?' hehe! That explains Mississippi John Hurt! Instead of me asking, he did! - Jerry Ricks, http://www.blueschat.com/tscripts/bc062198.htm

Yet another work of epic proportions!  Well done Stefan and Mr. Bunker Hill.  I think they both deserve a Golden Weenie.

Mine is but a miniscule part in this great endeavour. Would that my industry was as dedicated as that of the redoubtable Herr Wirz...

Are we sure Tommy really deserves a discography?  ;D

Thanks once again, Stefan.

I scrolled and scanned and did not find a listing for "I Want Someone to Love Me", the test pressing found a couple years ago. It is on the Yazoo disc Times Ain't Like They Used to Be, Vol 8, and also on one of the Blues Images calendar CDs, I believe.

thanks a lot andrew,
and I didn't have much more to do than transfer them both from my King Solomon Hill discography . . .

(We have a pretty little adjective here in Germany: to be 'betriebsblind', which my dictionary translates as 'blind to the shortcomings of one's company')
