@andyschoi Yeah except that he's widely considered to be one of the best acoustic guitarists of all time. I think a lot of us recognise him for what he was

@1noen1 thats what happens when you have a health system that marginalises the poor, care should be for all not the rich and those that have the oppertunity to access care due to social status or wealth.

@tubby6411 - I saw him play in a bar on Greenville Ave in Dallas Tx in 1982. He was an hour late. Then he sat there and calmly replaced a string on his guitar. I only remember him saying " I'll fix this string and then I'll play" He was guileless. His lack of ego and complete control of his guitar was awesome. I like you knew I was in the presence of greatness. I think about that evening a lot - continuing to try to squeeze everything out of the memory.

It's John Fahey. I respect your opinion, but I think if you open your mind to his music and listen to some of his other music, you may find he is very, very good. He wasn't exactly in his prime in this video here. :)
