2005-08-25 Calvin Jackson

Recording #191

This last set I recorded Friday night was really a "jam" with all sorts of musicians going on and off the stage.  I decided to name it for Calvin Jackson because I'm pretty sure he played through all of this.  The first song is with Blue Mother Tupelo.  Sherena Boyce, Lightnin' Malcolm. R.L. Boyce. and others performed too.

Recording #187

This was the first time I went to the Otha Turner Family Picnic in Gravel Springs MS.  My notes aren't too clear, and there's not a lot of internet info available about the event.  I'm not exactly sure if it was Fri/Sat Aug 25/26 or Sat/Sun Aug 26/27.





I shot a little video (about a half hour over the two days), but I do have audio recordings of most of the weekend.

Here's the audio for Blue Mother Tupelo

This was the first North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic.  I motorcycled down to MS.  $15 ticket.  $5 for a cooler.  I tried to pay the guy for my cooler (it held a six pack), he laughed at me and said the charge is for huge coolers that held several cases.





I shot a little video, but got most everything on audio recordings.

Recording #162

I had motorcycled down to MS to go to the first North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic in Potts Camp.  
I went to Clarksdale the night before and stayed at the Riverside Hotel and went to Red's that night to see Big Jack Johnson.  I had approached Big Jack before the show and asked about recording video and he said I had to talk to T (Terry Big T Williams).  I found Terry outside and asked, but he was not interested.  I shot a minute of the show anyway.

First, here's a little bit of Frank outside the Riverside

Recording #133

Continuing on this Black Keys fall tour into Canada.  Just a little delay at the border.  I had to explain what I was doing and show the police my show tickets.  It took about an hour for them to decide to let me into Canada.

Montreal was great.  I stayed in a bed and breakfast near the club.  I had a very nice French dinner before the show.

Dan was having a bourbon at the bar when I came into the club.  When I told him about eating French before the show, he said all the restaurants here are French.
