2005-09-10 Alice Mae Burnside benefit

Recording #107

After R.L.'s funeral, a benefit show was planned for Alice Mae at the Two Sticks in Holly Springs.  I had high expectations.  We did hear from Cedric and Kenny; Duane and David.  But between my equipment issues and general Mississippi chaos, the evening didn't turn out to be much.  The people I wanted to hear played just a few songs.  Lots of local players joined and eventually took over the show.  Anyway, it was a chance for me to give some money to Alice Mae.

On another night, I was at Otha Turner's and Alice Mae walked by.  I told her "you must be very proud of your family".  She smiled and said "oh yes".

Here's some audio.
