Haha, what a great and weird video - I don't believe it had been posted!  So thanks for posting.

And <off topic> great seeing you in Lafayette, the Swing Band<->Jack Daniels tact worked perfectly.

Great vids. Very talented players in both. Litwick is a hoot!

Thanks for the reminder, Lindy. Brad Litwin is a clever, creative and talented guy to say the least. He has a couple of CDs available at CDBaby. I believe that I've watched another video or two of his via YouTube. Hopefully they're still up. "A Self-made Madman?"--Hey! That's my line!

[Mr.OMuck]

And now for something completely different. World music gone MAD!

Man, I wish I could do that Tuvan throat singing -- it would really impress the neighbors!  (the harmony, not the guttural, that is)

Don't try this at home!

Apparently the men who sing in that style have a very short life expectancy.

Swooning women? ..or jealous husbands?

Beaten to death by their neighbours?

(I'm often not much of a fan of crossover stuff, but those guys are great!)

[Parlor Picker]

No, all that gritty throat stuff buggers something up.  I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I'm sure I heard that fact from some good authority (maybe a doctor...).

Great clip though.

Howdy!
Greetings from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  At last week's Blues Festival there was a set by Ace "Nightduck" Woods, a fellow who sings and plays harmonica and guitar . He is a street singer and has been around the Baton Rouge area for years.  Unfortunately, Ace did not play guitar for this gig, but instead someone else did (a guitarist called Mudcat, - obviously not the real Mudcat from Mississippi). There is a you tube video of the Nightduck at

that Baton Rouge Bill uploaded. By doing a search  on youtube for Nightduck I came up with a couple of more videos taken at their performance.
All the best in the blues,

Once again, I've come across something on YouTube that seems so obvious that I'm surprised it hasn't been posted here before: a bunch of Paul Geremia videos dated January, 2008. Here's the link to Tootie Blues



Then check out all of the related links. Gold mine!

Lindy

p.s. If you go to the actual YouTube page, there seems to be more links to the January 2008 vids than shown in the embedded video.

p.p.s. Duh, I just noticed who the poster was--Stefan Grossman. These vids must be from the Guitar Workshop video of Geremia in performance, which I'd heard about but hadn't seen before. Really don't matter what the source is, the stuff is quality. Thank you, Stefan, for posting these.

Riding horses and drinking fermented mare's milk probably has more to do with it than the way they sing.

[Mr.OMuck]

One of the guys sounds like a cross between Howlin' Wolf and Popeye!

Last week I showed the Mongolians to top bluesman, Roger Hubbard and he really loved it.  I must admit to watching it quite a few times myself.

This country blues stuff is OK, but there's nothing like the real thing..... ( )
