hello friend,
in the thread about what cd's you're listening to, i noticed cool jack mentioned he had just started getting into blind boy fuller a lot, despite owning his cd's for some time.
it got me to thinking, as it took me awhile to get into fuller's music. now i think it's great. but initially i think i was led astray by a some disparaging quotes from rev. gary davis, about fuller & his music. (or lack there of).
personally i find fuller's music to be compelling. musically i find his arrangements inventive, & never boring. & he had a great singing voice that conveyed a real lively spirit.
anyone else go through this while getting into fuller's tunes?
(& sort of off topic - what kind of reso's was he playing? single cone, tricone, etc..?)
thanks,
chris
