  • Sweet and Dirty a Collaboration of Sweet Brenda and Dirty Red Band Bios
    Sweet and Dirty A collaboration of Sweet Brenda and Dirty Red Band Bios When Dirty Red – Eric McDaniel – leader of modern day powerhouse band, Dirty Red and the Soul Shakers invited legendary Oklahoma Blues Singer, Sweet Brenda – Bren Severson – on stage the first time to sit in with the band, a lightning bolt of electricity melded them together and shot their sound and energy into an unsuspecting blues audience that soaked it up like fireball whiskey on freaky Saturday night. From that moment this energetic collaboration has caused quite a stirring in the blues scene. Both musicians have made a name for themselves across the blues nation with experience and expertise that speaks for itself. When all of that is combined with the background and expertise of the rest of the band, a stage full of all-stars is born. Besides the giant personalities of Dirty Red and Sweet Brenda, the scary tight rhythm section of Cliff the “Iron Man” Belcher and Forrest Worrell, both of Watermelon Slim and the Workers fame, and the lonesome but ripping tasty blues guitar of Big Robb Hibbard, former lead for Miss Blues and the Blue Notes, put the icing on the cake. Add to all of that, the fact that Dirty Red and Sweet Brenda both write all the songs with soulful and pertinent lyrics written for all people, and a jolting beat that never stops, the dance floor is full and crazy, the room is packed with a punch of energy and the blues appetite is wildly satisfied. Sweet and Dirty is a collaboration of blues monsters bragging over 130 years of performance altogether culminating into this fabulous high- energy show.

As the curtains opened last Wednesday night he stood with no violin, but instead playing keyboards. It wasn’t until he picked up his unusually shaped electric violin that I felt completely involved in his music. There was satisfaction in seeing Ponty perform after hearing what I always thought was possibly a violin but was never quite sure in many cases. Being able to see Ponty playing his violin gave a sense of the inventiveness and originality of his music. Armed also with a full backup band, Ponty • was very successful in presenting music that seemed to be 8 much less effective on his latest albums. j: The difference between Ponty’s performance of the title track “Open Mind” the night of the concert as opposed to • the recording was that there were people playing the 2 drums, bass and guitar instead of computers.

  • 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.

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.

  • Emily Jane Brontë - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Emily Jane Brontë - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Emily Jane Brontë(30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) Emily Brontë was an English novelist and poet, best remembered for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. Emily was the third eldest of the four surviving Brontë siblings, between the youngest Anne and her brother Branwell. She published under the pen name Ellis Bell. <b>Biography</b> Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 in Thornton, near Bradford in Yorkshire, to Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë. She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the fifth of six children. In 1824, the family moved to Haworth, where Emily's father was perpetual curate, and it was in these surroundings that their literary gifts flourished. <b>Early Life and Education</b> After the death of their mother in 1821, when Emily was three years old, the older sisters Maria, Elizabeth and Charlotte were sent to the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge, where they encountered abuse and privations later described by Charlotte in Jane Eyre. Emily joined the school for a brief period. When a typhus epidemic swept the school, Maria and Elizabeth caught it. Maria, who may actually have had tuberculosis, was sent home, where she died. Emily was subsequently removed from the school along with Charlotte and Elizabeth. Elizabeth died soon after their return home. The three remaining sisters and their brother Patrick Branwell were thereafter educated at home by their father and aunt Elizabeth Branwell, their mother's sister.
