A tribute to Charlie Patton, composed by Fahey in Yazoo City, Mississippi, in 1963. Open C tuning. [Technical note: to the best of the editors' knowledge there are no examples of the use of open C tuning prior to the first recordings of Fahey and Robbie Basho, indicating it may have been a Fahey innovation.]
