This could be a long one. As a placeholder, a 1969 interview with John Fahey.

[Edit.—Desperate Man Blues seems like as good a place to start as any.]

Melanie, Ring the Living Bell. Gather Me is one of the few pieces of vinyl that I have segregated in the keeper section. Tarkio is more than just "One Toke Over the Line," as well.

"Ring The Living Bell" actually hit the top 40, didn't it?

"I was fasting with a twenty seven day fast on water." Oh, dear. I'm trying to remember the name of the crank and his daughter who popularized this back then (not that it doesn't persist). It involves at least one criminal prosecution.

[Edit.—It was Herbert Shelton.]

BSL version of "Son of a Preacher Man." This has been pulled from Y—be repeatedly as a putative copyright violation, so get it while you can.

A live version of Bill Lee.

[Edit.—This isn't very high fidelity (I have a better one on cassette), but it's from the '86 Jonathan Richman show at Holstein's, which also featured the best version of UFO Man that I've heard yet: Walter Johnson.]

Meh.  He's no Randy Edelman.
Your toilet's broken, Dave, but I fixed it.

Very well, then. Don't  make me get out the Vachel Lindsay (which I also have on vinyl).

Ain't Done Nothing If You Ain't Been Called a Red. With Chinese subtitles. Beats me, but, hey, Faith Petric. This is the version from Rebel Voices, which is uneven but wraps with a terrific Power in the Union (not the Bragg shit).
