this guy popped up as a suggestion in Spotify. I had totally forgotten about Gary Davis, and how much I loved this song! He has such a distinctive style.
I just found out about him. I was reading about Tom Winslow, who had been a student of his. I met Tom a few times at festivals in the 1970’s and bought his Clearwater album from him. Tom is on TH-cam as well and his daughter Thomasina. Sadly, Tom passed away a few years ago.
This has been one of my favorite songs for like 10 years. Used to listen to it at like 4:30am on the way to work occasionally. We know our society is on the decline when this has 1,896 views at the time of viewing (9.20.2016) yet I'm sure any Miley Cyrus video I look up has 100,000,000. RIP Western Civilization. Edit: I was wrong. Very wrong. Try, Miley has 1 billion views per video. Jesus. We're doomed. You might even say.. we're going to to come in like a wrecking ball.
The song is in the key of A Minor. I visited Gary for 10 days at his home in New York. And he stayed with me when he came to Ottawa Canada to play at the Hibo Club. Gary Davis is a guitar genius!
You are perhaps getting a bit carried away there ? ! ? I feel pretty confident that they will have discussed it beforehand, and I doubt if GD would normally keep going for seven minutes ..........
God bless Pete Seeger for having these phenomenal artists on his show back in the 60s.
I saw this when I was still in elementary school and it changed my life
He owned that whole guitar!

Those 2......watching a masterclass...♥️
Absolutely!
They are Pete Seeger Shawn Phillips and Donovan
Thank you! I recognized the other two but not him. @@danmartinazzi
I watched this in pure amazement. Incredible that someone can be that! good at guitar
Without ever seeing the guitar! 🤯
@@TremendousSax That's why.
Best guitar player ever.
Yup
the best acoustic guitar player by a nile -- the "hendrix" of the acoustic guitar@@wilcorrigan2970
Amen
Sometimes I feel like going Amen.
LOOK AT THAT RIGHT HAND GO!!!!!!!
"Rainbow Quest" hosted by Pete Seeger The other guests were Donovan and Shawn Phillips
Thank you. At first I thought maybe Nick Drake but I realized no.
Donovan and the other younger guy look like they are ready to give up.
Ahahahah... yeah dude absolutely!!!
They wish they were that real. 😂
@@jasonthomad2322 they were not real. Just ambitious pop stars.
I love Donovan but let's face it he ain't the Rev lol
I mean this is just so natural to him. Absolutely a feel thing
I just wish I could hear Christian music when my heart is weak. That's my prayer Lord. Help me.
Peace of Christ, listen to Gary Davis.
Gary plays the devil's music if you haven't figured that out yet.
You're in my heart, Reverend
It was so natural for him- incredible talent!
Blues old school 🎶🎶🎶
Babylon falls soon we're going home.

So glad I found this so lucky that I listen to Gary Davis that this popped up never saw this before thank you so much for posting breathtaking
Wow this must've been so television show. Pete looks to be hosting but I'm not sure. I should probably read the description.

Jesus touched Gary Davis, your Father in Heaven is waiting for you.
Divine ❤
Merci
I didn't know Gary played a 12 string guitar
That B-45 12 was one of his trademarks. He also played Guitar Banjo.
haciendo docencia, como Atahualpa.
Who is the guy on the left on acid?
Where did the Reverend learn to play?!
Early Beefheart
Slightly better guitarist !
Does anybody know what tuning he's using in his guitar here? 🤔
standard! ;) first chord is a minor out of e form
The song is in the key of A Minor.
I visited Gary for 10 days at his home in New York. And he stayed with me when he came to Ottawa Canada to play at the Hibo Club.
Gary Davis is a guitar genius!
lol is this the real vevo
What an insult to Reverend Gary Davis for Pete Seeger to try and play over the track. He ruined it over the best filmed video The Reverend ever made.
