The first time I saw video of Skip James or Mississippi John Hurt or Son House, it was like seeing video of a ghost. These were legends of the 20's that made their mark on shellac wax cuttings and went back to their sharecropping shacks; not compatible with Youtube and Google. But here's another one that surprised me: none other than Dock Boggs. After listening to him for years, I built an image of what I thought he looked like (even though I've seen pictures)...this wasn't exactly it. Dock started recording in 1926/27 and did "revival" recordings in the 60's as well.
