Hi Ari,
I met you through Ben Andrews. I've posted a number of clips of Ben with the Blue Riders on youtube, here's the one for M.J. Hurt's, Talkin' Casey:

I'll put of the complete version of it, recorded for a later show, soon.
All the clips can be viewed if you do a search for: tymjar (my user name)
I loved playing the music of Mississipi John Hurt, it was some of my favorite part of Ben's repetoire. I am still curious as to how he developed a style that was so different from the playing of the guitarist that he would have heard in his part of the country. I love how it swings, in it's own gentle and joyful way. It is both, full of energy and very relaxed. When Carl Sagan was choosing those clips of recorded sounds of humanity, to send out into the depths of space, he would have done well to have chosen anything recorded by Mississippi J.H.
Best of luck, I'll be looking for that book ...all in good time.
Your friend, through the language of music...
Tim Jarvis
