My step-grandfather died two years ago. I remember him playing guitar and banjo just like this as I grew up. I used to think it "hillbilly music" or music for old people. But awhile back I discovered indie-folk and have since become enamored of these "social anthems" dating back to the English troubadours; a historical record unto themselves. As I listen to and learn to play songs like this I am reminded of the precious resource I neglected.
I was proud to call Fleming Brown my friend. He did one hell of a job to keep these old songs and the performers alive and noticed in the folk world. RIP Flem.
