I’m about to go home today and continue my recovery on an outpatient basis at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan while I concentrate on making and posting the programs for April on Radio Free Amsterdam. It took me an inordinate amount of time to complete the March programming but now it’s all in order and thanks to Steve The Fly everything is posted for the month, so here’s the Program Guide for your records.

  • Gedanken Über "Sweet Home Chicago"

    Gedanken Über "Sweet Home Chicago"

    Gedanken über "Sweet Home Chicago" Bei der Titelauswahl für "BlueSimon Special Vol.4 - Recorded In Chicago 1945 - 1955" bin ich naturgemäß auf diesen Song gestoßen, habe aber keine Aufnahme gefunden, die in den Zeitrahmen gepasst hätte. Jimmy McCracklin's Coverversion (als "Baby Don't You Want To Go" für Globe Records, 1945) hätte zwar gepasst, wurde aber in Los Angeles eingespielt. Roosevelt Sykes' "Sweet Old Chicago" (Imperial Records 5347, 1954) ebenfalls, ist aber in New Orleans aufgenommen. BoBo Jenkins Version (als "Baby Don't You Want To Go" für Fortune Records) ist aus 1956 und aus Detroit, passt also in zweierlei Hinsicht nicht. Bleibt nur David "Honeyboy" Edwards Aufnahme für Chess Records aus 1953, aber die ist meines Wissens nie veröffentlicht worden. Allerdings muss ich zugeben, dass ich auch eine in jeder Hinsicht passende Version nicht mit einbezogen hätte, war ich doch bemüht, weniger Bekanntes aus der Dekade auf die CDs zu bringen. "Sweet Home Chicago" ist neben einigen anderen Songs wohl einer der bekanntesten (und abgedroschensten) Bluestitel aller Zeiten, nicht zuletzt wegen der Popversion der Blues Brothers. A propos Popversion: Robert Johnson's legendäre Platte, aufgenommen 1936 und veröffentlicht 1937 als Vocalion 03601 war damals auch Popmusik und wurde eingespielt, um Geld zu verdienen. Also weniger Geld für den Künstler, sondern vielmehr für die Plattenfirma, die allerdings wegen der schlechten Verkaufszahlen einigermaßen enttäuscht gewesen sein dürfte. Johnson war aber immerhin bekannt genug, um von John Hammond für die "Spirituals To Swing" Konzerte jeweils um Weihnachten 1938 und 1939 ausgewählt zu werden. Seine musikalische Qualität ist bis heute unumstritten, seine Popularität war aber mehr auf seine Liveauftritte zurück zu führen, bei denen er zumeist mit anderen Musikern seiner Zeit in den verschiedensten Joints spielte.

P-1 EXHIBITS: A – Boundary/Contributor Status Map B – Historic Resources Survey – As approved by the Cultural Heritage Commission on 8/21/14 C – Proposed 52nd Place Tifal Brothers Tract HPOZ Preservation Plan D – Categorical Exemption PROJECT ANALYSIS Project Summary Adoption of the proposed 52nd Place Tifal Brothers Tract HPOZ would place the properties along E. 52nd Place, bounded by Avalon Boulevard to the west and McKinley Avenue to the east, under the regulations of Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 12.20.3, the HPOZ Ordinance. Adoption of the HPOZ includes the certification of a Historic Resources Survey and adoption of a Preservation Plan to accompany the ordinance. The proposed 52nd Place Tifal Brothers Tract Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) contains predominantly one-story, single-family residences built between 1911 and 1914, designed and constructed by the firm of Gustav, Charles, and William Tifal. The majority of buildings retain their historic design and features representative of the Craftsman architectural style implemented in the development of the tract. The structures have retained integrity in design and materials, in large part as a testament to their quality, craftsmanship, and maintenance. After a series of demolitions on 52nd Place, former City Councilmember Jan Perry introduced a Council Motion on July 15, 2008 (CF 08-1855) that instructed the Department of City Planning to develop an HPOZ for the area as a way to protect its historic resources.

It was the key to distributing the Grande postcards on the street and in schools. Volunteers, mostly high-school-aged kids, would get a stack of cards to pass out, plus a free pass to the Grande for themselves. Russ Gibb, who ran the Grande Ballroom, says that this was the ticket, so to speak, to bring in the crowds. While posters in Detroit did not have the effect that posters in San Francisco had, and handbills were only somewhat better, the cards turned out to actually work best. These cards are quite rare.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • Little Joe Blue

    Little Joe Blue

    Little Joe Blue by Opal Louis Nations The clincher that puts Little Joe Blue a notch above most B.B. King imitators is the fact that he took the former’s mannerisms and affectations and added a few twists of his own. This made him an extremely emotive original, aside from the fact that he possessed the skills to write uniquely infectious lyrics like the anguished “Dirty work going on” (Movin 1966), the urgent “Standing on the threshold” (Jewel 1968) and the poetic “Give me an hour in your garden” (Miles Ahead 1974). He was born Joseph Valery Jnr. in Vicksburg, Miss. on September 23, 1934 to Abraham Fields and Willie Hodges. He was raised across the Mississippi River in Tallulah, La. through the 1940s then moved to Detroit. As a youngster in Tallulah, Joseph came to be called “Little Joe Blue” because he constantly played Eugene Field’s traditional “Little boy blue” on his harmonica. His first encounters with the blues were in Vicksburg at the Green Lantern dance hall where he snuck around the back and peeked in the door. Jimmy Liggins and T-Bone Walker, among others, played there. From 1951-53 he served in the U.S. Army and was posted out to the Korean front. With a natural propensity to use his hands, he worked on auto assembly lines before he started (at the urging of his hero B.B. King) entering talent shows and sit-in gigs with local bands as a stand-up singer. One of these gigs involved the great “Bobo” Jenkins from Forkland, Alabama.
