Vic Chesnutt: 1964 - 2009

We first met Vic Chesnutt back in 1995. Encountered, really. We had just parked our car under the Whitehurst Freeway across the street from the Bayou Club in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Next to us was an Econoline van where some folks were loading up various pieces of equipment to haul across the street.
