    These are tremendously well-done covers by Turner Havens.

    I picked up my old guitar and tried to re-learn how to play during the early COVID months.
    I hadn't played it for about 45 years.
    The cords came back quickly, but the picking was tough and I only had a 3 fret stretch of my fingers - and it just wasn't going to get any better.
    ...so I donated my old guitars to the church and picked up photography.

    This guy looks like he manages just fine with limited stretching of the fingers.

    It's a song by Jack Rose; but, yeah, Jack Rose, in my opinion, was the heir apparent to John Fahey after he died in 2001, but then Jack Rose died in 2009.

    You're fine. American Primitive is my favorite style to listen to.

    Fahey said in his interview that 'Primitive' implied 'untaught', which is what he was.
