"Impressions of Susan" was recorded by John Fahey on April 8, 1966, at Takoma Studios in Berkeley, California. It appeared on the album Days Have Gone By in 1967. The John Fahey Handbook by Claudio Guerrieri has a wonderful write-up on the genesis of the piece. The song was a dedication to his pen pal, Susan Turner, who was living in Brazil. He know her only through the letters they wrote and a photograph she sent. Those who have seen the photograph understand where Fahey's inspiration to write such a beautiful composition came from. He wrote to her in July of 66 about the piece, "I shall leave it uncompleted or not resolve it to the tonic chord at the conclusion of it, thus dramatically symbolizing the fact that I have never met you." The guitar I'm playing in the video is a circa 1940 Recording King Jumbo which I picked up on a recent guitar hunting expedition near the boot heel of Missouri. These Recording Kings were sold out of the Montgomery Ward catalog starting in the late 20s and lasting to around the mid 40s. The guitar is about the size of a Gibson jumbo of the same era. They had a unique "double x" bracing pattern which made for a guitar that projects quite well in the midrange. They lack some of the low end that is typical of the Gibson jumbos and Martin dreadnoughts of the antebellum years but retain all of the charm that you find in the Chicago area pre-war instruments. We tried to do some new things with this video. By the time we finally got all of the gear set up we had lost all of our natural light which made this particular video difficult to work with. This was our first attempt at syncing multiple cameras. Out of respect for the original recording we may or may not have spliced the recording at several points and we added some heavy effects at the end. My good friend Brock Camden was the assistant director on this video. Thank you for your artful panning and moral support.
