I'm playing a mahogany/adi spruce grand concert 000 made by David Newton https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008907949110 When a copy of "Avalon Blues" (recorded in 1927) was discovered in 1963, it led musicologist Dick Spottswood to locate Avalon, Mississippi, in an atlas, and ask Tom Hoskins, who was traveling that way, to enquire after Hurt Avalon, my home town, always on my mind / Avalon, my home town. — Mississippi John Hurt, "Avalon Blues" Upon locating Hurt, Hoskins persuaded him to perform several songs, to ensure that he was genuine. Hoskins was convinced and, seeing that Hurt's guitar playing skills were still intact, encouraged him to move to Washington, D.C., and perform for a broader audience. Early in 1963 Hurt recorded an album, Folk Songs And Blues, that was released in August 1963 through Piedmont Records. His performance at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival caused his star to rise in the folk revival occurring at that time. Soon after, in 1964, he recorded live for radio in Massachusetts with Skip James. #acousticblues #fingerpicking #daddystovepipe
