Me having another go at John Fahey's Sligo River Blues

Standard Tuning

The sound quality of this one has always bothered me so I've recorded it again. Click below for the new version:

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

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 ;-)

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 Rob ;-)
