We used to go to different people's houses, you know. In those days I mean they could hear music and - if somebody could play an instrument, man, they would get up at night, from one o'clock; and they'd fix food and they'd have drinks and they'd stay up till five, six o'clock in the morning and give you money. It wasn't a dance but a serenade; we'd go from house to house. In those days there wasn't too much things like juke boxes, high fidelity sound, wasn't nothing like that then; and whenever somebody could play and could play well, he was considered as somebody; he could go anywhere and he had it made, you know? - Baby Doo Caston, on playing music in Natchez in the 1920s, interview with Jeff Todd Titon

Britain's Other Blues Show - Bank Holiday Country Blues
« on: August 22, 2012, 01:00:29 PM »
To mark the Bank Holiday, and twelve years of me getting away with broadcasting on UK commercial FM radio, STAR BLUES will present two full hours of acoustic and country blues.

Please forgive the gratuitous plug but it would be good if some of the great and good from WeenieCampbell dropped by on Sunday at 10pm (BST) on Star107.9/1FM around Cambridge and Ely - or from www.star107.co.uk

===
BTW, congrats to Bunker Hill

Well done, Gary. Seem to remember running into you in Grammar School Records in Rye(?) once.

Guilty as charged. Was there again in June and picked up some crackin' rock'n'roll discs. Could happily spend days in there rummaging and chatting to folks who really know their stuff.
-----
BTW Last nights show has already had some positive feedback - my blog has had more visits in 8 hours than I normally get in 2 days. So I will be doing another similar show before long. Other blues shows marked 20 years since SRV died, I played Mance Lipscomb.

Yes Gary, the young shop manager is my son, Matt. He's picked up a lot of info. about different genres of music over the years, including bits about blues and other roots music from me.
