- I worked with John for a few months in 1999 to shortly before his death. First as tour manager on his UK tour in 1999 and then getting some bookings for him in the USA and Canada.
- John was a hero, a great guitarist and a really nice person, once you got past his prickly exterior.
- I wrote something about him on my website http://www.pkmusicstuff.co.uk/fahey.html.
- It sums up what I think about John and his music.
- Fare Forward Voyager!
- Paul Kelly

Needs something adding about Fahey's often bizarre humour and prickly relationship with the "folk revival".
- 12 Feb : Note : I removed the following phrase: "including the extremely obscure but influential Blind Joe Reynolds (who recorded one 78 with Paramount in 1929)," as it isn't true, and even if it was, why pick out one of the dozens of influential 78s Fahey immersed himself in?
