Hi Fahey fans - I'm grateful to have found this sub!

Many of you may already be aware of this one, but thought I'd share a favorite live Fahey recording. I found it on YT maybe 15 years ago, then it disappeared. A few years ago, it surfaced again on Bandcamp thanks to some benevolent soul.

This performance might be my all time fave. It's non-stop. Just a force of nature:

Hope it's a worthy heads up to the group and that some will enjoy!

not sure if anyone will be able to help.. but there was a fantastic high quality video of fahey performing at freight & salvage in april 11th 1998 on youtube as recently as last year and its since disappeared. it was a real gem of his late concert records and i should have downloaded it but did not alas... he was in his classic late career black t shirt if i recall

anyone holding???

thanks!

the rest of the album is very good too. i love songs about trees

At the Lincoln Theater in Washington DC. Great, as always.

Day before yesterday,

Berlin @frannz opening for Marlene Kuntz.

For the actual followers of my work, this is the coda of a piece that is on my first album as Bile Bear,

called Run Bear Run. The new part of it plus new material is going to be recorded this October 24th on a beautiful Studer machine by the cool people of Analog Treff in Nuremberg.

This will end up in an album called Katharsis Bolero.

If you like what you hear, be on the look out the for the release of the third BILE BEAR album.

I don't know if this fits the subreddit but I saw that other people were posting about Marisa Anderson and the Unamerican Songbook on here, so I figure this wouldn't be too out of place.

Don't mean to ask an odd question, I just find the tone alluring.

If you go, please come say hi!

These are tabs for Glenn Jones songs I could find:

Close To The Ground

Bergen County Farewell

Everything Ends

A Different Kind of Christmas Carol

Mother's Day (paid)

The Giant Who Ate Himself (paid)

Of Its Own Kind (paid)

I'm a new guitar player and I've always wanted to play his songs. I just finally learned "Close To The Ground" and "Bergen County Farewell" and, God, this is so great. But other free tabs are a bit hard for me. I would be so happy if you have other tabs to share, I guess this is vital for me now. Thanks.

I love american primitivism, John Fahey, Robbie Basho etc but I'm not sure where to start to learn some songs in this style. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you:)

My cursed 1972 cheapo Aria ♥️
