I still have a couple of old John Fahey records that I bought back in the early 70’s. I love his and Leo Kottke’s guitar playing. I didn’t even know that John Fahey was still alive, I’ll have to look this Christmas music up, thank you.

Unfortunately, John Fahey passed away a few years ago. The album above is from 1968, with a few additions from ’75.
I ran sound for him once, and had a few conversations with him about turtles, of which he was very knowledgeable.
He was a treasure.
So beautiful! Thank you
Alison Kraus along with Emmy Lou Harris and Delores Keane have some of the most beautiful female singing voices. This was very well done, thank you.

So hauntingly beautiful.
Love it!
