I would have Loved to have had the honour of seeing this man play live I always loved this song, and after many years on and off practice I learned to pkay it quite well...... But I'll never be able to play it quite like this. Amazing skill. R.I.P ❤
It's Skip, Son House and Mississippi John Hurt that we mainly associate with the folk boom revival in the 60's. But only Skip (all due respect to the others) was more than a shadow of his former self. IMO he's better and deeper here than the 1931 original. Which is pretty crazy when you think about it.
Looking at him, by any rational standard, should make me want to just quit. But for some reason it's the opposite effect, where he always makes me want to play instead. It's like he has extra life force, and he shares it. Long live the king.
Su música y su arte son inmortales. Lamentablemente el maestro nos dejó un 25 de febrero de 2014 en Playa del Carmen, México a la temprana edad de 67 años.
