But I've always loved his finger picking style and especially the many musicians who later did his songs.
Jorma Kaukenen, David Bromberg, Steffan Grossman etc etc...

Saw Hot Tuna a couple months ago and they did an awesome Keep Your Lamps trimmed and burning with Teresa Williams and Larry Campbell helping.

Jorma Actually studied with the Reverend.
