The Reverend Gary Davis. This is a record I would love to have. I grew up wanting to BE him.

No on second thought I never wanted to be him. But I sure listened to a few of his LP's and tried to emulate him.

This is my favorite release on Smithsonian Folkways. YMMV of course.

Yes, kodama - I respect your taste, but I believe I've enjoyed enough John Cage for me for the time being. ;)
