| Perry Lederman was Joan's husband, who died one year before the first ocean sediment arrived in Joan's life. Elijah Wald says: "Perry was one of the great fingerpickers of the 1960s, a friend and influence to artists including Bob Dylan, John Fahey, Michael Bloomfield, Jerry Garcia, and many, many others. Somehow, though, he never quite got around to making a record until the last months of his life, when we went through his old tapes, culling the best versions of favorite pieces, and he recorded a handful of beautiful new cuts. Perry’s playing was most strongly influenced by the quieter, more 'country' blues artists, people like Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth Cotton, Etta Baker, and Sam McGee...Perry was a marvelously soulful, funny, insightful, and imaginative player, and this album gives me great pride and pleasure." The liner notes to this album were written by Poet Laureate of California, Al Young. Cost includes shipping. At checkout pick no shipping needed from drop-down menu.

(And when she opens new firings she plays his music.) | ||
