Everybody singin' like somebody else's body. And that's pretty spooky if you think about it. I like the shows where the guy... he's like 18 years and white and he's comin' up on stage before a 90 years old bluesman [pantomimes lurching onto stage, plays really old sounding blues, wails incomprehensibly]... And then the 90 years old bluesman comes on and says, 'OK man, whassup?' Everythin's gotten like kinda spaced if you think about it... - Jerry Ricks, Port Townsend 97

Long Train Running: The Story of the Oakland Blues
« on: September 02, 2021, 02:48:32 PM »
Hi all,
If you go to www.criterionchannel.com scroll down the page and look under Leaving This Month, you'll find "Long Train Running: The Story of the Oakland Blues", a documentary film that I think is worth watching. I enjoyed it and got to see a number of musicians I'd never heard or heard of before. The narration is minus a lot of the normal "blues talk" mumbo jumbo, and is refreshingly clear-headed and right down the line. I'm pretty sure you can watch the movie for free as part of an introductory offer. If you're interested, you should check it out.
All best,
Johnm
