Mississippi John Hurt's Candy Man

This is a favorite John Hurt song I've played for a long time. I have to apologize for the hiss. My firewire interface crashed and I now know my computer sound card ain't so hot. But I hope the performance comes through OK. When I get the computer issues ironed out, I'll redo it. In the mean time I gotta thank Don Zepp, Chris Smither, Andy Cohen and myriad others whose influence shaped my constantly changing version.
