DDD says:
“The first version of Some Summer Day No.2 is by Charlie Patton. Specialists may find a comparison amusing.”
I think that might be because at the time of this session (June '62) a copy of that Patton single had not been located. So later DDD says the song was “named after a lost Patton work”. The Fonotone version is actually a song, i.e. with (rudimentary) lyrics, which Fahey sings, if you call it singing. Which makes it a unique item in the canon. Uniqueness is not necessarily to be striven for. {See Dorothy for the second and last song with lyrics Fahey wrote.}
