Greetings from your E-Editor...
|
|
|
Playing with my friends...
|
|
"I'm gonna call up some of my buddies and a few of the ladies I know. I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all
and put on a heck of a show. Make sure we got a kitchen,
with a oven and a stove. We'll all get in there cookin',
then we'll throw open all the doors. Playin' with my friends, playin' with my friends, playin' with my friends. We'll have a good time, playin' with my friends." (B.B. King)
There's nothing like friends that are there for you. Buddies to lend an ear, to go to concerts with, to play music with. Friends are family... yep, "Framily," and we can't do without 'em. Here's to good friends that stick by you through thick and thin. As we gear up for Thanksgiving in a few weeks, let's remember that there are those without that could use a smile and even a friendly helping hand.
Upcoming Birthdays of note: Nov 13 Louisa "Blue Lu" Barker (1913), John Hammond, Jr. (1942), Candye Kane (1965); Nov 14 Carey Bell (1936), Anson Funderburgh (1954), Buckwheat Zydeco (1947); Nov 15 Little Willie John (1937); Nov 16 W.C.

 Both critically acclaimed and the best-selling newly recorded album for Delmark in recent times, 2012's Been There Done That put Linsey Alexander in the blues spotlight.

Finding the roots of American music in North Louisiana
|
 (By Tamar Fleishman/San Diego Reader) - As a former musician myself, I shake my head sadly at musicians who think they’re getting the folk zeitgeist of a given genre just by listening to records. You learn folk music by listening to the folk: hearing their idiomatic rhythms and style. It’s something sheet music and well-produced classic recordings could never reproduce.
This is true with American roots music: country, blues, zydeco, early rock ‘n’ roll, etc. If you really want to get under the skin of it, you have to go where it was nursed. You have to meet the standard bearer of the original styles, hear the riffs before A & R executives tone it down.
