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

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

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

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. Pages: [1] Go Up
