    Thanks for everything you've done for me, even though you'll never know it.


    I wouldn't be who I am today without you and I hate to think what would have happened if I had stayed on the track I was on.


    Thank you Jerry!

    Nope... Mississippi John Hurt, he pioneered acoustic fingerstyle blues. He became slightly famous then became a farmer in Mississippi in 1929 during the great depression. Lived as a farmer on the Mississippi delta until he was rediscovered by a couple people in the 60s, recorded some old songs he wrote, then died about a year or two later. I don't think he ever married. He was sort of folk blues. He sang of the working man and such in many songs...

    Well, George, thanks for telling me.
    That's a shame he didn't get enough popularity to show people how to be an honest blues rocker.
    Ya dig?
