From Johnnyo 12/19/2025 21:30 in Guitar greats (not the usual suspects!)
“Hi Hayden. Some names here that I’m not familiar with so some exploring to do on my part which is what I was looking for from this thread. Mississippi John hurt and son house are great shouts. So influential but not particularly well known outside of the blues community.”
