I feel like going to Mississippi...

And on my way there I got Mr. Mississippi John Hurt on my mind ...

Mississippi John Hurt - Lonesome Valley Blues



Mississippi John Hurt - Spike Driver Blues



Mississippi John Hurt - Goodnight Irene

The story that he tells before playing is delightful.



D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 2

What always impresses me is the relaxed confidence of his playing.

Yes, when I hear his playing I always think, "Man I wish I could do that!"
