It's The Birthday of Mississippi John Hurt

Happy Birthday going out to Mississippi John Hurt. One of the most gentle and kind hearted bluesmen of all time.

According to Wikipedia;

Mississippi John Hurt (July 3, 1893 or March 8, 1892 — November 2, 1966) was an influential country blues singer and guitarist. He sang in a loud whisper, to a melodious finger-picked guitar accompaniment.
