JOHN FAHEY Visits Washington, D.C.
- Silver Bell/Cheyenne
- JF: “I can’t explain why I wanted to put those two songs together except that I think they work real good. Richard Ruskin plays on this. Silver Bell was a big hit for Doc Watson & His Border Riders, from Wheeling, West Virginia. A DJ in Arlington, Virginia, used it for his theme song, and I heard it every day. Cheyenne is from Bill Monroe. Standard tuning.”
- Another famous version of Silver Bells (That Ring in the Night) is by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys.
- Death by Reputation
- By Leo Kottke, from his self-titled 1977 album.
- The Discovery of the Sylvia Scott
- A retitled new version of Vol 5’s Old Southern Medley.
- Guitar Lamento
- Bola Sete’s original version is on Ocean, his Fahey-produced solo issued by Takoma (which every Fahey fan ought to have).
- Melody McBad
- Reworking of the unreleased Elder-Z-Travels from 1977.
- The Grand Finale
