John Fahey - Sligo River Blues

[specialrider54]

Keeping time on this piece is harder than it seems. You managed to keep everything on the beat here. Fine job!

You did a nice job with that tune. I think you captured a little of John Fahey's spirit. I live here in his birthplace, Takoma Park. Used to go see him in the 70's. I wonder why he called the tune "Sligo River Blues" because we have a Sligo CREEK, but no Sligo River.

Thanks PoetryHound ;-) I wish I'd seen him live at some stage, but I heard of him for the first time 2 years ago. I heard that recently about Sligo Creek. If I had to guess, I'd say his sense of humour got the better of him ;-)

Not an easy tune to play well! You done a good job on this early Fahey number. Keep em coming.
