On a recent visit to Avalon, Mississippi I got Art Browning to record some of his versions of John Hurt songs on the front porch of John Hurt's old house. The house is where Hurt lived for many years before his rediscovery in 1963. It is now a museum. Art is playing an old Harmony flatop that I cleaned up and re-glued after Larry Smith resurrected it from his car shed. Unlike the character in the song, Art lives just down the hill from where this video was shot. - Lost Jim

  • great!

  • Fantastic. Meeting Art and spending the day in Avalon with him was the highlight of our trip to Mississippi, and a day I will always remember (and I learned some songs). Thanks Art and thank you John Hurt.
