"No I took it up myself." An absolutely amazing talent! Thank you for posting this, Stefan.

So did Segovia, Django and Wes.
I often tell a luthier I know that
without thousands of self taught
Guitar pioneers he would be out
of a job! Not knocking formal
study if It doesn't limit you.

Very grateful that Stefan hauled that heavy tape recorder around so we can hear the words of wisdom from the Rev.

A legend. Meeting this man , I see, as meeting a kinda prophet, a real wise man. He was a brilliant guitarrist, my favorite one, and by the way when speaking even then sounds melodic.
R.i.p. Rev Gary!

There’s many cocaine blues today but this man really made the first one or made it known. “It’s for horses, not for men, dr says it’ll kill me but he won’t say when” that line is many songs now whether they be about cocaine, alcohol or something else.
