Dispatches from the Delta: April 2010
http://newroxyclarksdale.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Dispatches from the Delta. The adventures, observations and occasional foibles of a northern gal trying to refurbish an old movie theater in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Thursday, April 15, 2010. I spent an hour recording the stories of a family that grew up with owners of the New Roxy and they shared lots of memories and history of the neighborhood including that Ike Turner actually played on the New Roxy stage which I had not heard before. I am exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. While waiting on M...

Chilling with a hookah. Gloucester Rhythm and Blues Festival has been, burned brightly, and gone for another year. It was a hectic week for me with nine gigs in as many days and that included three nights off. The highlight of the week was spending time and making memories with the Myers Brothers. The next three months will see both the Jigantics and the Sons busy in the studio, so there should be plenty of new music for you to treat yourself or someone else to in time for Christmas! Hello 2013 →. Two gi...

Too Happy to Sing the Blues | Price Davis Originals
https://pricedavisoriginals.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/too-happy-to-sing-the-blues
A raw look into acrylics, pastels and abstracts. Too Happy to Sing the Blues. Where to even begin on this incredible weekend in Clarksdale, MS at the Juke Joint Festival. To say I was nervous, anxious, and just plain excited would probably be the understatement of the century. I honestly had no clue what I was getting myself into. The weekend started off with me running around my house like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get everything together for Saturday. Did I? I would say so. I begin to s...

New Year’s Eve 2012 with the Patsy Gamble Band. Happy New Year everyone! As usual I was gigging New Year’s Eve, this time with the lovely Patsy Gamble and her band. I think a lot of us musicians prefer to be gigging that particular night as we’d probably be at someone elses gig anyway, so why not earn money whilst having a good time instead of spending it? So what does 2013 have in store? Hope your year has got off to a good start and you stay happy and healthy, with everything going your way in 2013.

And I Am Not Lying, For Real: April 2005
http://andiamnotlyingforreal.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2005. We left the V.F.W. Hall right after Bobby Rush started his second set. He was amazingly resourceful, working the same big-booty-blues joke over and over and inside out to maximum effect during the first set, but we wanted to leave on an up beat. Nothing is worse than when the band itself makes you dislike them by running themselves into the ground right in front of you. Not to be outdone, her friend hiked her skirt up, clearly exposing a bare rump and shook it like a sack of ge...

Memphis One: Mississippi Delta/Clarksdale
http://memphistnone.blogspot.com/p/mississippi-delta.html
Memphis' music connections and history, including the North Mississippi Delta and my other hometown, Clarksdale, Mississippi. 1970s - Eagles and more! Clarksdale is important because as history has it, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for mastery of the blues. This spot is marked by the intersection of two U. S. highways: 49 and 61. It has been called "the most Southern place on earth! Of course, there is much more to the story. "In the beginning.". Origins of the Blues and Beyond.
