Happy feel to it. Love 'em both. Creole Bell, wow. Thought John Hurt had that steady base a lot of time on the 5th instead of tonic, steadier than I thought you could play. I still pick and sing Ramblin' Boy and have the album (vinyl) and 2 of Hurts's.
So did I. It was in college. He was a tiny guy with a tiny wife. We were all in awe. I imagine at his rediscovery he might have been terrified to see 2 strange white people asking if he were indeed, John Hurt. It gives you some sense of how he lived that when he received his first check for a performance he wasn't sure a bank would accept it. I think the greatest tribute was Guy Davis's reaction on hearing a recording of MJH: "Who are these guys?" Treat yourself to a musical joke: MJH singing "Gilbert and Sullivan" (ruclips.net/video/a1LorzOpPtY/видео.html).
Here are two of my heroes, Tom Paxton and Mississippi John Hurt.
i love tom paxton
That reminds me! It's Coffee Time! Going to get me some Max'll House. It's as good as 2 or 3 cups of this other coffee...Thank you, Tom!
Kinda dixie jazz to what I memorized from Briarpatch. Keep living, and doing your thing, TP
Doc and Merle do a great run of this song

DID YOU HEAR TOM PAXTON,

HE SANG ABOUT THE SWEETEST MAN,
THAT EVER DID LIVE. THE CANDY MAN AND THE POET
I heard and saw Tom.
Glad you uploaded this, it's good to see.
Sadly MJH died 8 years before I was born, but he and Tom are two of my music heros!
you have similar music tastes to my now 75 year old dad...fabulous tune.

As good as back in the sixties1 And so much better than what you do together with Bullock. Great stuff, Tom!
