In other words, it totally works right here.
I don’t think I’ve ever been adressed in a public forum before, it’s a little daunting and cool all at once.

I’ve mispaced Fahey’s book on Son House. I’m about halfway through and got distracted when I realised I still had several other books on the go, which i had started earlier, and decided to finish them first.

He is a frustrating persona to try and understand on many levels, his book is so well written and makes pointed criticism at other supposed research based around assumptions while maintaning a lighter humor than reflected on his arcane in-joke sleeve notes on his own albums.

The latter interviews, the curmudgeon he evolved into, with childlike inability to cope with the day-to-day of touring, health and human relationships … all show the latter side that the Revenant crowd clustered around, that following felt more like a cult by default. Still, a whole 30-something crowd of guitar minimalists had their figurehead, however creaky and flawed, he was that guy who cut all those records that we loved.

Speaking of love and enjoyment, I dig these Ash Grove and related posts, the personal recollections are sensational as well.
On a side note, I have never seen a pic of Dave Cohen until these pages came to my attention, thanks Country Al.
