For what it's worth Weenie Campbell is just full of material/reminiscences etc about the AFBF tours and related "stuff" - some of it put there by Bunker Hill back in the mists of Weenie time.

Three years later Fess had to put up with this in the UK. Shameful.

From Lightnin' Hopkins, for the over-caffeinated generation. If this one has been posted before, please let me know.

Pan -

          That brings back memories. I picked up Popcorn Clover at his home in Sandersville, GA. He stayed with Roy Dunn (who had recommended him) until the recordings the next day in Conyers, GA. Unfortunately, Roy and "Pop" stayed up all night "catching up" with each other, not having een the other for quite some time. I had recorded some of "Pop" by himself the day before; here with Frank he was bushed and even fell asleep atone point while playing! Still, it was a nice sesion and Frank was an unique musician. Thanks to Tim Duffy and the MMRF for helping him in his latter days.

Another Paul Geremia vid, can never have too many of these.

It's a full hour performance (do yourself a favor and skip over the first 3 minutes). The camera angle lets you see everything he's doing if you want to steal a lick or two.

"Samson" from 1962. Great twelve-string work! Fred Gerlach is mentioned in a couple of other threads in this forum, but to my knowledge, no one has posted this song.

Thanks for posting that, Lindy.  That is really a good album, and Fred Gerlach also does ripping versions of "Gallis Pole", "DeKalb Blues", "Ham And Eggs" and many others on there.  It is worth checking out, and could be ordered from Simthsonian-Folkways, I'm pretty sure, in a custom CD format.
All best,

This was posted on the Facebook "Rarest 78s" forum yesterday -- it's an alternate take of Big Bill and Frank Brasswell playing "I Can't Be Satisfied," a great number and recently featured as one of John's puzzlers. This is NOT the version on John Tefteller's blues calendar from this year, this is an alternate of the version we're all familiar with.

I tried to find YouTube vids that actually show Larry Johnson performing. There are some others with various playing partners, I'll let you explore them.

Hi all,
I just found this cut, "Atlanta Town", with Chasey Collins playing washboard and singing, Dad Tracy playing fiddle and Big Joe Williams playing guitar--must have been from the same session that yielded "Wild Cow Blues".  Here you go:
