Mississippi John Hurt © ROWLAND SCHERMAN

Mississippi John Hurt was a self-taught blues guitar player and singer, who lived most of his life working as a farm laborer, and it wasn’t until late in life, in the early to mid-1960’s with the awakening of the folk music movement that his mastery was recognized, and soon he began touring and recording. The more I listened and read about him, I began to discover the similar qualities that might possess the self-taught Hurt and the self-taught perfumer, David Seth Moltz. Mastery is not untouchable for the self-guided few who tap into their own pioneering spirit while they quietly or not so quietly live their life. The current artisan movement prides itself on this valued notion.
