BLUES NEWS June 2010 2 Letter From the Prez A new radio station made its debut in Louisville last month. Crescent Hill Radio (CHR), AM1650, is now on the air. The station was created by local musician Kathy Weisbach and is a community radio station with no commercials featuring local and regional music. CHR is an unlicensed but legal station and is allowed by FCC regulations. The station has a low watt transmitter and a broadcast range of about one mile from the studio at 2518 Frankfort Ave. However it is also streamed live on the Internet at chradio.net. Kathy is interested in playing all types of music on the station. If you know of any local or regional musician who would like to be heard on CHR she can be reached at [email protected]. Kathy has graciously allowed me to create a blues show that airs Friday nights from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The Kentuckiana Blues Radio Show will feature blues from Louisville and the surrounding area. My first broadcast was Friday, May 7. I want to thank all the musicians who have granted me permission to play their music on the station. If you would like to send me your music for the program please mail it to: Kentuckiana Blues Radio Show, PO Box 755, Louisville, KY 40201. You can also contact me at [email protected].

It's time to gear up for the local festival season. Three blues festivals will be in our area in the month of June. The largest in the state of Kentucky is the W.C. Handy Blues and Barbecue Festival in Henderson, KY from June 12 to June 19. It doesn't get any bigger than this one with a weeks worth of blues and more than a dozen national blues acts including Joe Louis Walker, Shemekia Copeland, Tab Benoit, Kenny Neal, Magic Slim, Shirley Johnson and Chubby Carrier just to name a few. It's a free festival and the complete schedule is available at handyblues.org. For those of you sticking around town the weekend of June 18 and 19, the second annual Smokin' on the River festival will take place at the Riverstage in Jeffersonville, IN. Four local blues acts with Stacy Mitchhart as the headliner will take the stage during this Indiana state barbecue competition. The following week the Musicians Emergency Resource Foundation (MERF) and the KBS will host a benefit festival at the Riverfront Amphitheater in New Albany, IN on Saturday, June 26. See the ads in this issue of Blues News for more information on both festivals. The Russellville, KY blues society has announced their dates for the Mary Ann Fisher Summer Concert Series.

The Vernon Club at 1575 Story Ave will host a Tim Krekel memorial concert on Friday, June 25. The lineup has yet to be announced but the proceeds will benefit MERF. The main man himself, Riley “Beale Street Blues Boy” King better known as B.B. King, will be at the Horseshoe Casino in Elizabeth, IN on Sunday, July 4. Time has started to catch up to the blues leg- end. After all he is 84 years old but I can think of no better way to celebrate our country's birthday than to see this national treasure in concert.

  • Dance of the Holy Ghosts: a Play on Memory: Digital Dramaturgy
    dance of the holy ghosts: a play on memory: Digital Dramaturgy By Marcus Gardley Directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah Oct 9–Nov 17, 2013 Oscar Clifton is a Blues man living through his memories of the past, until his estranged grandson Marcus pays a visit. Together, they confront a history of loves, regrets, and missed opportunities. This acclaimed play by Marcus Gardley is a poetic family drama set in the key of Blues—a memory- scape skipping seamlessly across the decades. Meet Marcus Gardley Playwright's Biography Marcus Gardley grew up in the 1980s in Oakland, surrounded by a tight-knit community and raised by parents and grandparents from the South. He recalls, “Growing up in Oakland was really magical. I have family that all lived in the same vicinity; it was a huge community. I grew up in a political environment, but also a spiritual and diverse one. It had a huge effect on me.” Gardley spent his Sundays listening to his father preach, and the Black Church has informed and inspired some of his finest work. Though he started out as a poet, Gardley became captivated by playwriting during his college years at San Francisco State. He went on to Yale School of Drama, where he studied under celebrated playwright Lynn Nottage. Since then, Gardley has had productions at major theaters across the United States, and his work has garnered accolades for its soulful sincerity and lyricism. He currently splits his time between New York City and Providence, Rhode Island, where he teaches playwriting at Brown University. He makes a mean dish of Brussels sprouts and thoroughly enjoys mint juleps.

Hawkins (right) and Rosa L. Hawkins (left), joined by Athelgra Neville. Photo by Richard Strauss, Smithsonian Institution Rhythm and Blues 53 Tell It Like It Is by Mark Puryear In 1964 The Dixie Cups®, a female vocal trio from New Orleans, crooned out a cheerful version of “Chapel of Love” and knocked the Beatles from their number one spot on the pop charts. A year later, the trio released “Iko Iko,” a song first released in 1954 by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford as “Jock-A-Mo,” whose lyrics recount the meeting of two groups of Mardi Gras Indians. Since then, this song has been cov- ered by artists from the Grateful Dead to Cyndi Lauper, and continues to move new generations with its infectious New Orleans rhythms. The career of The Dixie Cups, and their direct and indirect roles in carrying rhythm and blues (R&B) into mainstream consciousness, speaks to the enduring pow- er of this music to transcend region and musical category and become a representative sound of the country. Musical Crossroads by Dwandalyn Reece The National Museum of African American History of musical genres, highlighting musical innovations, and Culture (NMAAHC) was established by an act of significant time periods and events along with Congress in 2003 making it the nineteenth museum historic performances to capture the music’s impact of the Smithsonian Institution.

When I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area as a young adult, I was already an avid blues fan and had begun collecting the recordings of such notable artists as B.B. King and Muddy Waters. I settled in Oakland and began to investigate the local music scene. I was soon introduced to the rich blues heritage of the East Bay by friends, teachers and the radio shows of local record producer Chris Strachwitz and music critic Phil Elwood. I also had the occasion to meet three of the older stalwarts of the East Bay blues scene: L.C. “Good Rockin’” Robinson, Teddy Winston and Smiley Winters. When I went to graduate school to study ethnomusicology, I wanted to explore a thesis topic that captured my interest and allowed me the opportunity to gain experience in ethnographic research.

  • Lafayette "Thing" Thomas - Ein Unbedankter Gitarrenheld
    Lafayette "Thing" Thomas - ein unbedankter Gitarrenheld Bei meinen Vorbereitungen für die Einleitung des West Coast Blues Abends (15.2. 13 mit Herby & The Mudcats) habe ich mich eingehend mit vielen einschlägigen, stilbildenden Musikern beschäftigt, von denen ich aus Zeitmangel nur wenige mit Videos präsentieren konnte. Einer von diesen nicht berücksichtigten ist Lafayette Thomas, über den Tom Mazzolini (Produzent des San Francisco Blues Festival) in seinem Nachruf aus 1977 schrieb: "...unzweifelhaft der beste Gitarrist, der in der San Francisco/Oakland Bluesszene aufgetaucht ist, es gibt heutzutage kaum einen Gitarristen, der Lafayette Thomas nicht ein bisschen etwas schuldig ist.... Beinahe hätte ich ihn übersehen, weil es nur wenige Aufnahmen unter seinem Namen gibt, aber glücklicherweise erwähnte ihn Christian Dozzler bei einem Besuch im vergangenen Winter. Lafayette Thomas wurde 1928 in Louisiana geboren und starb 1977 in Kalifornien. Er war ein Neffe des legendären Jesse "Babyface" Thomas und (unbestätigt) Willard "Ramblin'" Thomas. Etwa 1945 kam er nach San Francisco (andere Quellen behaupten "kurz nach seiner Geburt") und übte zunächst einen zivilen Beruf aus, bis Labelboss Bob Geddins auf ihn aufmerksam wurde und ihn unter seine Fittiche nahm; seine ersten Aufnahmen machte er 1948 als Sideman für "Bob Geddins Cavaliers". Im selben Jahr begann er auch in der Band von Jimmy McCracklin zu spielen, bei dem er mit Unterbrechungen bis in die frühen sechziger Jahre blieb, und mit dem er zahllose Titel als Gitarrist einspielte - einige der besten werde ich noch erwähnen. Die ersten Aufnahmen unter seinem Namen (als L.J. Thomas And His Louisiana Playboys) entstanden spät 1951 in Sam Phillips' Studio, als er mit McCracklin auf Tour war ("Baby Take A Chance With Me"/"Sam´s Drag"), wurden an Chess Records verkauft/verleast und als Chess Nr.1493 veröffentlicht.

    Oakland Blues VIRTUAL PRESENTATION OF 7TH STREET’S 1050’S JAZZ SCENE Yehuda E. Kalay Department of Architecture Paul Grabowicz Graduate School of Journalism University of California Digital technologies, in the form of modeling buildings, people, and their activities, are becoming a popular vehicle for the re-creation and dissemination of cultural heritage. Together with video game engines, they can be used to let users virtually “inhabit” the digitally recreated worlds. Yet, like every medium ever used to preserve cultural heritage, digital media is not neutral: perhaps more than any older technology, it has the potential to affect the very meaning of the represented content in terms of the cultural image it creates. This paper examines the applications and implications of digital media for the recreation and communication of cultural heritage, drawing on the lessons learned from a project that recreates the thriving jazz and blues club scene in West Oakland, California, in the 1940s and 1950s. 96 ACADIA 2007 OAKLAND BLUES Yehuda E. Kalay, Paul Grabowicz 1. INTRODUCTION Immersive, interactive digital media presents a tech- nology-driven alternative to traditional cultural herit- age preservation techniques, such as archeological and cultural sites, museum exhibits, books, and fi lms. In particular, Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MORPG) can move state of the art of cultural heritage preservation beyond static displays, capturing in inter- active, immersive, game-like form the social, cultural, and human aspects of the sites and the societies that inhabited them. In so doing, the technology provides viewers with a measure of presence in the site, allowing them to participate in events, interact with representa- tions of the former inhabitants of the place, and meet fellow visitors.
