I am a strong believer, that peoples paths cross, for specific reasons that we may never understand. Crossing paths with this Nix, was probably as important to him as it was to yu. I am sure he felt blessed to share history he knew on to you. There is no telling what a blessing you were to him that night. PS: I just watched a yt video of him singing to miners in Scotland... One thing Mr. Nix did not mention was, that he was one tall man, and a beautiful deep voice.
That is how teaching begins, Mr. Nix taught you, you taught me, now I am looking at robeson videos.
Great article.
