quote:
The mighty Gary Davis was another who used only thumb and index Hi Norman, Ah The Bind Reverend Gary Davis....a terrific guitar player. In the mid sixties I went to the Great American Folk Train that came to the UK, with Tom Paxton, Buffy Sainte- Marie, Rev Gary Davis and Ramblin Jack Elliot. It was in the afternoon and at the end of the concert a lot of the Folkies stood outside the back door of the theatre to see their heros leave. As the taxis pulled up, a very pretty tall blonde girl pushed her way to the front to get some autographs and Gary, (who was 70 years old, about 5' 3" tall and really beat-up looking) tried to get her to go back to the Hotel with him for "a little fun, Baby". I was standing right beside them, so I heard every word! I must admit, it did make me wonder later about both the "Blind" and the "Reverend" stuff! In the end she pushed her way into Ramblin' Jack's taxi and the couple were smooching away in the back as it drove off. Not the sort of thing a 15 year old boy should have witnessed (in those days) I suppose, but I guess it was a bit of an education. cheers, Ron
