John Fahey’s How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life

'The same mystic energy that infuses his music drives his prose, a grist ground through all his contradictions to produce an utterly unique and deeply compelling testimony of life as he knew it.'

The caption reads:

“20. Four great musicians. Left to right, Fahey, Rev. Rube Lacy (P.M. 12696), Blind Aouhl Krishnawhilsan, David (etc.) Evans, in front of Rev. Lacy’s church in Ridgecrest, California.”

Because of Alan’s interest in classical Indian music, his friend John Fahey referred to him by a corrupted version of Blind Owl Christie Wilson (Aouhl Krishnawhilsan). Revered Rubin (Rube) Lacy was a former blues guitarist and singer. In 1928 he recorded two songs Mississippi Jail House Groan" and "Ham Hound Crave", for Paramount Records. The PM 12696 refers to the Paramount master number. In 1932, Lacy became a minister and relocated to California where he was rediscovered by David Evans. He died in 1969. This photo was taken in 1966 in front of Lacy’s church and was later included in the liner notes of Fahey’s 1967 LP The Voice of the Turtle.
