Was Davy Graham influenced by John Fahey or vice versa? Don't know, but 2 great players. Bert Jansch, the only 1 of the 3 still alive, is another great.

@AertPietersz >Sounds like standard tuning to me, aka Charlie Patton...

@OnkelOtto7 Yeah but don't forget John Renbourn and Suni McGrath for sure, all born between 1940 and '45.
#John Fahey was influenced by all of the old blues players from this country but later by Bola Sete: Brazil.
( Fahey's "Let Go" album has with a few of Bola Sete's guitar pieces included)( A must Listen!)

John Fahey died after open heart surgery in Medford Oregon. I was living there and saw the report in the local newspaper.He was the founder of Takoma Records, so I doubt that he was starving when he died.

@AertPietersz - I just sent this to my Dad (we're both touring musicians) and if anyone can figure the tuning, my Dad can. My question is, I'm originally FROM asheville NC and the entire town is surrounded by the French Broad River. Any link to what river he's playing about?

Bert Jansch And John Fahey beat the junk that we have today.
-
@DiamondSoul their out there I promise. They just have to be found, however I agree with you that nowadays music is lacking soul and power and the industry has gone completly down the drain.
But dont worry there will be a day when real music is heard on the airwaves once again.

If anyone has sheet music for this piece, please let me know. This has got to be one of the coolest guitar pieces ever written. Fahey Rules!
