Coupl...A timely post for me, and much appreciated. Couple a weeks ago I decided to uncrate some old vinyl in the garage, and a dozen or so Fahey albums were prime targets for being converted to 1's and 0's.<br /><br />The comments in the "Performance" section struck home, as I have had the chance to see Fahey a half-dozen times in the 70's. A memorable night circa '73 went as such: Fahey arrives 1/2 hour late (to a BYOB Hippie Hangout coffehouse) puts down his case and a six-pack, and announces "No apologies. I didn't know this fuckin' town was dry", unzips his fly, undoes his belt, and proceeds to ignore the gathered masses for another 15 minutes while he gulps down 3 beers. The only noise in the room comes from his occasional belch or fart which soon became an audience participation call-and-response affair. Crushing the 3rd can, he pulls his guitar from the case and launches into it non-stop for the next 2 hours. And it only cost $2 at the door!<br />A remarkably quirky yet remarkably talented man.<br /><br />joe<br />joeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395909822324046048.post-62031900665224910712009-04-08T03:42:00.000-06:002009-04-08T03:42:00.000-06:00i second Delta Slider's comment. you can order cds...i second Delta Slider's comment. you can order cds directly from Sean Smith <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/seansmithlives" REL="nofollow">HERE</A>.
