Video of the Week #35

Mississippi John Hurt does two songs, "Lonesome Valley" and "Spike Driver Blues," in his distinctive finger picking style, from a 1965 folk music TV series, Rainbow Quest, hosted by Pete Seeger. John Hurt died in 1966.

Hedy West and Paul Cadwell were the other two guests on that episode, so I assume they are the two people sitting on each side of Seeger.
