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applied themselves to such pieces - Stephen Calt on the state of blues guitar in the early 1960s, from A Fahey Memoir (unpublished)

Piedmont Blues and Roots Festival - May the 4th
« on: April 08, 2024, 01:56:03 PM »
Hope y'all can join us in Laurens SC for the Piedmont Blues and Roots Festival! Laurens County was the birthplace and home of Rev. Gary Davis, Pink Anderson, Willie Walker, Lil McClintock, and Arthur Guitar Boogie Smith. Our goal is to preserve and celebrate that heritage with the Piedmont Blues and Roots Festival. The festival will take place in downtown Laurens and feature performances by Jerron Blind Boy Paxton, Veronika Jackson, Sparky and Rhonda Rucker, the Holler Floppers ft. Ali Kafka and Hunter Holmes, all of whom preserve and perform traditional music. Click the link to the website for updates.
