i just got into fahey recently, i read that he lived in salem, oregon (where i live!) and so that sparked my interest. he really is great, ive been reading up on what he did in salem.
For a time, he was homeless and lived in a men's shelter in Salem, Ore. Sober now, he lives in a motel in Salem, where he recorded "City of Refuge," on equipment in his room.
i also read that he is buried here, and last time sonic youth came to portland they were spotted here going to his grave. its all kinda surreal, i wish id have known of him earlier. apparently he collaborated with alot of local artists whom i know.
womblife is amazing.
