I love this clip of Mississippi John Hurt telling the story of how he learned to play the guitar. What a charming man. That's Pete Seeger trying to hurry him along with the banjo.

The woman in this clip is Hedy West. I just googled her and found out she was the daughter of Don West, one of the really fascinating forgotten characters in John Egerton's Speak Now Against the Day. She died in 2005. She's got a cool voice, and it looks like she followed in her Dad's footsteps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_West
