At my age, the hard part is getting to the gig. The playing is easy - 102-year-old Fred Staton, still getting paid gigs playing tenor sax

Here's a beautiful tune by JuJu aka Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara in acoustic mode for once.
This is my daughter Shaina, she has a lot of other videos on youtube, her website is:
www.shainataub.com please buy her EP! thanks, Mike just saw a picture of joseph spence on the samuel charters and it reminded me of how awesome he is: Coincidence, my fave long lost Joseph Spence album and I had just bought it again on the very day you posted. Here's Angelina & JC Grimshaw, accompanied by Paul Armfield on double bass, tackling a Hawai'ian piece (which is very laid back for JC).
And while we're on with it, here's another: Ah this brings back memories. In 1991 I attended the 2nd Basingstoke Blues Festival. To be frank I found most of the acts boring and predictable with the exception of Angelina & The Cornbabies, an act from the Isle of Wight. They were playing good old fashioned acoustic country blues with more than a hint of Bessie Smith about the vocal. Two years later I went to the Onslow in Southampton to see an advertised duo of Angelina and J.C. who I'd never heard of before. Wrong...it was the same Angelina duetting with her brother John-Claude. Fantastic evening's entertainment. I've often wondered what became of them. Thanks to PP I now know.

Thanks to PP I now know.They'll be at my house tomorrow for their (almost) annual visit and I'll be doing my best to convince them to attend the Euroweenie weekend next year (you missed Angelina a couple of years ago, Alan).

(I've corrected misspelling of her name - a and not e as I had it) All the more reason to try and get them there then, Alan. It would be nice to meet up with you again.They'll be at my house tomorrow for their (almost) annual visit and I'll be doing my best to convince them to attend the Euroweenie weekend next year (you missed Angelina a couple of years ago, Alan).Perhaps if they do I'll make an extra special effort to attend.

Words fail me on this one. Simply stunning if you're a musician and appreciate klezmer. Check out the harmonies going on here.
Hi all,
Here's a video of me playing a tune of mine, "The Singing Moon", with two wonderful Argentine tango dancers, Patricio Touceda and Eva Lucero. The film was produced by a friend and former student of mine, David Paris, and it was his idea to do the film. I hope you enjoy it. All best, John Fabulous! And Cheryl agrees.
We play "Maria Elena Waltz" as an accordion / guitar duet. I had not heard "The Singing Moon" before and it struck me immediately that this song is a second cousin to "Maria Elena" so I have at least a shot at figuring it out. Consider it covered at some point, to the best of our abilities.
