Julius Lester came in with a music caravan. Bob Dylan was there, Pete Seeger, Theodore Bikel. But what they forgot about was that for about 100 miles around, [they] had some of the best traditional music ever. And we didn't have the consciousness then to pull that together, you know, to pull in those living legends of blues men and women who were right there - Worth Long, organizer for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, talking about a movement festival in Greenwood, Mississippi in 1960s

Taken in 1975 when Sam was in London. I think the venue was the now defunct Village Bookshop in Regent Street, the photographer was Sylvia Pitcher. (May have to click image to zoom)

THE COUNTRY BLUES quietly started a landslide of interest in the rural forms of the music beyond the realm of the jazz addicts, guitar players, or the close-to-the-vest record collectors. As George Mitchell or Roger Brown... or me. Vale, Sam, and thank you.

In looking through the ARSC videos on YT, I saw Elijah's tribute which may be of interest to some:

Thanks Stuart. I had no idea of the range of Charters’ work.
