During his visit, Fahey succeeded in greatly impressing me by picking out an old blues by Little Hat Jones, and demonstrating Charley Patton's masterpiece, 'Down the Dirt Road', which I subsequently set about copying. In my 19-year-old neophyte's eyes, any guitarist who could approximate a vintage blues accompaniment was a virtuoso; only six or seven players in the entire country applied themselves to such pieces - Stephen Calt on the state of blues guitar in the early 1960s, from A Fahey Memoir (unpublished)

I decided to wear my thumb out (generally use picks), and covered one of Patton and Brown's top numbers, in my opinion.
That's all she wrote Mabel!

Terrific!  That's a great Patton cover, not so easy to do!

Nice one. Like Slack said, not an easy guy to cover.

Really nicely done. And your singing is as impressive as your playing -- great voice. Thanks for sharing.
