This record always transports me to a whole different space. John Fahey breaks the blues and remakes it in his own strange idiom, and he’s a mesmerizing guitarist. And my copy is in stunning shape. When I bought it, the cashier told me her friend was pretty sure he had accidentally killed John Fahey, remind me to tell you the story sometime.

CHRISTMAS, WHAT ELSE? #2. Two things I enjoy, responsible interpretations of carols and seasonal songs, and Mister Fahey. When we put this on, my son Ted said, “Oh, Pachelbel’s Canon,” and I superciliously said, “No, it’s Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.” But in the car today as I ran Christmas errands with the Christmas radio station on, they played that one boy’s choir rendition you may have heard where they put Christmas words to the canon, and by gosh, I started singing “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas” right over the top just fine. I came home and apologized to Ted for correcting him incorrectly. #vinyl #vinylcollection #christmasmusic #christmasradiostation #johnfahey #johnfaheychristmas #fahey #pachelbelcanon #pachelbel #tacobell #tacobellscanon #jollyoldsaintnicholas #samechords #drivingaround #christmaserrands #ellipticalsoundtrack #treadmillsoundtrack #nowspinning #nowspinningonvinyl (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrwU9Zin7xx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l6gvgd3gynji

#mayvinylchallenge by @jennn_erator Day 13: Indie Label Love. My first thoughts were all great punk indies, but then I thought of the great copy of Leo Kottke’s breakthrough I just found on John Fahey’s Takoma Records, and had to highlight that great label. Offbeat folk blues that harkens back to the mythological 78 era with its mysterious characters and their biographies full of obvious lies... they just have a way about them. #johnfahey #leokottke #folkmusic #americanprimitive #takomarecords #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CO02QposzbR/?igshid=18mqawg0tgycu

Not too long ago I posted this tune on my @waterlooguitars WL14 with ladder bracing/t bar/v neck/phosphor bronze. Here’s a WL12 with x-bracing/truss rod/low oval neck/monel. I thought it would be fun to compare & contrast. #guitar #acousticguitar #fingerpicking #bluesguitar #blues #americanprimitive #johnfahey (at Athens, Ohio)

#currentlyspinning #johnfahey #guitarsoli #americanprimative I first heard John Fahey’s “Dance of Death” on the Zabriskie Point soundtrack and could not believe my ears. I had listened to a lot of the early blues guys he was inspired by but his approach to those tunes was wholly his own. Years later I’d watch his instructional videos and was then first inspired to start playing in various open tunings which is what I still mainly play today. Wish I could’ve got a chance to see him live-at least there’s pretty damn good early live footage out there. Highly recommend checking him out if you aren’t familiar with his work. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_N6XgXB0gG/?igshid=11wc7rblqfa5w
