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

There was a very nice story about Strachwitz and Arhoolie on NPR's Weekend Edition this morning (3/16).

Thanks, Lyle. I received "They All Played For Us" this week. It's a really nice package. Here's the link:

Recommended to all who enjoy the kind of music Chris Strachwitz has been recording over the last 50+ years. I'm going to make an exception to the usual recommendation to go through the Weenie Amazon link and suggest that if you order the set, you do so direct from Arhoolie.
