John Fahey - The Yellow Princess

From "The Yellow Princess" (1969)

Rotta verso john fahey capitano!........ancora il fahey....l'american primitive guitarrone...il nostro stavolta spara le corde della sua chitarra con in mente l'opera omonima di camille saint-saëns...........a me, vuoi un po per via dei colori della copertina del disco vuoi un po per quelle note di chitarra pizzicate con irruenta delicatezza, m'hanno fatto pensare al lago dei cigni.......ehhmmm....sigmund posso accucciarmi sul lettino?...........uz uz uz uz...........

Hiowdy! This was the second Fahey song I ever learned to play...the first being "Sunflower River Blues"...I played this for my dad...and he dismissed my efforts 'cause he wanted me to be a classical guitar player like Andres Segovia...whom I adore, but could never play like...I do a "version" of this in DADFAD that encompasses all the main themes...but...would Fahey ever have thought of it? Cheers! Blind Brand X.

This song is a classic. Puts me on a wooden schooner sailing across Lake Ponchartrain in the late 1800's.
