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.
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
