So I went to see a 'Man With Guitar' at the Barnes Museum in Philadelphia.

I met Picasso's 'Three Musicians' instead.  There names are Blind, Joe and Death.

Kind of reminded me of John Fahey's 1959 breakout record of the same name 

Blind Joe Death.  A great record to listen to on 'Some Summer's Day'.
