Rocking from Cleveland, Illinois, to Southern France: Spooner Oldham, Wanda Jackson, and Billy C Farlow

Posted: Apr 04, 2009

 

April is a huge month for southern musicians. On Saturday, April 4, my neighbor down the river Spooner Oldham and “the sweet lady with the nasty voice” Wanda Jackson were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gritz has an excellent interview with Spooner that is not to be missed, and this month the Smithsonian Channel is running a documentary about the life of Wanda Jackson “The Sweet Lady with the Nasty Voice..” If you do not subscribe to the Smithsonian channel, you can see video clips from the documentary on the Smithsonian web site. See RiverVue for a profile on Jackson, the first lady of Rockabilly.

The blues has never had it better than in Europe these days. Bluesman Billy C. Farlow has been in France since mid March playing concerts and recording with the Mercy Band. Mercy Band is a blues trio out of PACA, France, consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Jean-Paul Avellaneda, J.P.’s son drummer Stephane Avellaneda, and base guitarist and vocalist Bruno Quinonero. Even if you speak no French you will enjoy the video on Stephane’s web site that opens with the music of Robert Johnson and tells the story of a young Frenchman falling in love with the blues. On the Mercy Band/Billy C Farlow site, you can hear Billy C Farlow singing and watch video clips from his first concert in France on March 27. Stephane has also posted a series of new photos on the Mercy photo album site.

When Billy C returns from France in mid April, he will no doubt have many stories to tell. I know he is having too much fun, and I will be waiting to hear all about his trip and to post a conversation with him on Swampland.

In other words, NBA jerseys, the Celtics defense is good enough, but not in control of basic resources to establish, based on their defensive rotation by the powerful complement bit, of course, this defense is more targeted results. Analogy: If the physical foundation of a good man, ill soon after the natural good; But if the body itself is not good, was sick after eating fast symptomatic drugs, the natural good faster. If the control boards, create internal and external line pressure is equivalent to laying the foundation of good health, then the effective rotation fill seats that have targeted specific drug. The problem is of course a valid and effective rotary fill seats can fill the seats once the rotation question? Celtics rotation up a bit skill most of construction in Garnett on the defensive flexibility. Do not you see 2002,2003 was on the NFL Football Jerseys Nets beat the Celtics when Pierce, who talked about the defense Ray Allen from Milwaukee Bucks to the Seattle SuperSonics are not defensive specialists,giants jersey into the key, Boston has been able to play decent defense, Garnett from the third line of control contributed to the paint. I wonder why Kevin Garnett since the Finals began, it suddenly old, old, contemporary first defensive flexibility is lost.

Timepiece that are too much ahead of their time would not come from a tradition manufacture. A Breitling watches has a long and rich history. And there are many experienced Louis Vuitton watches manufacturers in the world. Most of them are from Swiss. Today, replica Breguet manufacturers of Japan, America, British, Russia and other countries are also famous all over the world. Such Bell & Ross replica have history on their back, and concern matters like Tag Heuer watches. When Patek Philippe Cal 96, the first replica Christian Dior , launched in 1932, the world realized that replica Montblanc was the way to go. The follow decades were characterized by the development and perfection of different replica Cartier , and the improvement in quality of the tiny Jaquet droz watches movements. This golden age came to an abrupt end in 1969, and the dark age lasted until 1985. Yet the very essence of replica chopard has changed to Maurice Lacroix for sale or Piaget replica. As computer technology is set to replace manual watchmaking step by step, Longines for sale' future getting uncertain. The materials used in Christian Dior watches, indeed, have been in place for almost 200 years. It is not true that anything has to be replaced after it is used for a long time, yet the development of Bvlgari watches is a precess of continual trial. Uncertainty should never be an excuse against innovation. Since 2000, various new materials have been applied by the Maurice Lacroix replica, achieving success and recognition to a certain degree. It is well known that the replica IWC , Panerai for sale and replica Tag Heuer have joined hands in a project that explored the possibility of using silicon. Breguet, a Smovado for sale's brand, as well as Patek, have since then rolled out pieces with silicon parts in the escapement namely pallet, Alain Silberstein watches and Baume & Mercier watches. Since August 2009, U-boat for sale have started to use silicon hairspring on all basic models. Hermes watches, on the other hand, believe that the new alloy they developed on their own is a more advanced material, and thus have used it for the replica Graham . With Swiss patent no. 706279, the brand, understandably, do not reveal the composition of the alloy. Yet we know by now it mainly comprises niobium and also includes non-iron materials like Alain Silberstein replica so as to achieve similar anti-magnetic effects as silicon. As we enter 2010, the competition of Montblanc replica brands is set to return to full swing. As the economy shows signs of Cartier replica, they could no longer be patient like during the financial tsunami. They are to rush to unveil novelties so as to fight for Graham replica, and to win move market share. In early December, Cartier invited press worldwide to their manufactory in La Chaux-de-Fonds to see their 2010 SIHH novelties, unveiling the replica Piaget .According to the brand, ID means innovation and Panerai replica. The piece stands out since no matter inside or out, it has applied new material of movado replica. The piece has a 46mm "Ballon Bleu"(Blue Balloon) casing in niobium-titanium which, on top of a special sheen, offers remarkable anti-shock and anti-corrosion capacity. Somebody raised doubt on the raison d'etat of this new DeWitt watches, since its hardness and composition is similar to Grade 5 titanium. The technical staff at Cartier replied that niobium not just has better anti-magnetic capacity but is non-allergic.It is used on top-grade surgical tools. The 16?-ligne movement is revealed by the transparent dial and case back. Like the casing it also features stunning innovations. After refined polishing, the Hermes replica and Breitling for sale are ADLC blackened. Unlike the common chromium plating or replica Ferrari , replica Franck Muller involves crystalline diamond-like materials being coated on a metallic surface. The baseplate and bridges, as a result, would render a surface hardness and smoothness like the diamond. Together with ADLC coated balance pinion, there would be no wear-and-tear in operation, thus rendering no needs for lubrication and even Graham for sale. In the past, "no-jewel" was the equivalent to low-grade movement, used only on "IWC replica for students". 30 to 40 jewel were common for a good calibre, and a funny piece even had 99 jewels. In existence for 200 years, jewel may, once again like pocket replica croum , become history due to Cartier.
