- Spider John tells Charlie Parr about the three parts of his “so-called career”.
Charlie Parr has always spoken very freely about his influences, and one if his living mentors, Spider John, just gifted him his guitar. Charlie asked if I would help him document this, and it has turned into a 4-part series that goes deep into the story of this guitar, as well as what John calls his "so-called career" as a folksinger.

Thanks for the videos you put out and thanks for turning me onto Spider John.
Thank you!! Appreciate you tuning in and saying hey. More to come!
The Koerner, Ray, and Glover stuff was some of the best modern blues I have ever heard. Along with John hammond and Geoff Muldaur
Oh man do I agree!
1964 I started college. I had been a doo wop music lover from Brooklyn. Was really disappointed in a lot of popular music.Was looking for a new direction in music. My college room mate played me, Another Side of Bob Dylan, then Woody, Leadbelly. We then found Blues, Rags and Hollers, the first Hammond album, Muldaur's Sleepy Man Blues, Just Dave Van Ronk, and the gold mine of traditional county Blues. Charlie Patton, Son House, Skip james, Robert Johnson, Sleepy John, Blind Willie Mctell and Johnson, the Sam Charters RBF series and my life has never been the same.@@kostringworks

@@kostringworks I'm glad that I've found your channel, keep up with the videos, they're really cool
Fantastic! “As opposed to folk musicians…” 😂
Haha, I know I love that part. Thanks for watching!
Where did you find that footage from The Walker? I have been looking everywhere for early(ish) footage of John or Ray Koerner and Glover and have come up completely empty handed!
Dude I wish I could remember. I dug through the depths of YT for this. It's out there, somewhere. I wanna say it was in the middle of an interview. Sorry wish I could help more on that!
You can see his influence on Charlie Parr...and no, you can't teach their picking style. I've shown how it goes though, as best I can.
For sure! At some point you realize it’s like trying to learn someone’s handwriting. Just can’t do it.
