When I first heard John Fahey, I recall thinking, what the hell was that? Composer, eccentric, American primative?. He never seemed to fit. Maybe he doesn't even fit on a blues blog, I don't know. I find his music strangely compelling but I never feel at ease with it. Here are some examples.

Red Pony
Candy Man
Steamboat Gwine Round the Bend

Whether or not it's Blues or Folk or something else it has a pride of place in this blog. I just love Candyman. His music has always made me feel happier, more content and calmer for listening - that is as good a criteria as any. A damned fine guitarist.
I guess the three of us share common tastes - so what if it becomes some kind of 'love-fest'. I follow your main blog as well and I have got to say I have 2 dogs (always have had) and a Photobucket album dedicated to my garden. Eerie or what?
Eerie indeed.
Any man who has a photobucket album dedicated to his garden, is someone I could call friend. Even if he does not like blues or folk music.
My yard work needs work. LOL. And there are so many photos I have taken that need to be organized that I don't even want to talk about it.
Well seeing you asked - this is my garden in April
See now that is how you do a cross posting. Now the trick will be to go from the travel blog to the blues blog. LOL.
Oh, and what a wonderful garden you have my friend. Thanks for sharing it with us.
it's a beautiful garden for sure...I don't think I know any blues about gardening though.

Candyman is an oldie. Gary Davis say it "come out in nineteen-five, waaaay back yonder" on this http://lix.in/-4130a9 record.
aw sheesh, that gary davis link had a pass: bluestown
Appologies.
