Posted: Apr 23, 2010

The following is a press release regarding a Heritage Award to be presented to a dear friend and fellow South Carolina Musician, Freddie Vanderford.

We are proud of  Freddie and his many accomplishments in music, and tip our collective hat to him with this latest honor. Play the blues, my brother!

Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.

Buffalo

Freddie Vanderford of Union County, SC has been named  this year’s recipient of a Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award. The South Carolina Arts Commission and the McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina made the announcement. The S.C. State Legislature will present the award following a session of the House on May 6 in the Statehouse.

Vanderford is being recognized for maintaining and sharing the tradition of the Piedmont Blues harp. Learning harp from his grandfather, initially Vanderford blended a country style with the sound of the Chicago blues. However, once a teenage Vanderford discovered that the blues harpist and former medicine show performer, Peg Leg Sam lived nearby, he eventually developed a close relationship and added Peg Leg’s style to his own. Today, Vanderford’s playing represents one of the closest remaining links to the musical tradition of the early masters’ of the Piedmont Blues.

Vanderford entertains audiences playing solo or with fellow musicians such as “Little Pink” Anderson, Brandon Turner, Steve McGaha, Matthew Knights Williams and many others. His discography includes Piedmont Blues, recorded with Brandon Turner under the name of the New Legacy Duo and Vanderford is featured on Story, Song and Image: Celebrating the Roots and Ethnic Music of South Carolina. His music is also featured on Feel the Presence: Traditional African American Music in South Carolina and in Stan Woodward’s film BBQ and Homecooking, a documentary on foodways in the state.

A reception will take place from 6-8 p.m. at McKissick Museum on Wed., May 5 to celebrate Vanderford’s artistic excellence and lifetime commitment to maintaining and sharing the tradition of the Piedmont Blues harp. Dress is “come as you are.”

The Folk Heritage Award is named for the late Jean Laney Harris, an ardent supporter of the state's cultural heritage. The award was created by the legislature in 1987 to recognize lifetime achievement in the folk arts.

No, wait, that's just irrational fear. There's no reason for any member of the gang to come out here and hide in the middle of the night, no reason at all. Therefore, this must be somebody else. Even as he was thinking that, someone yawned, very UGG Boots Clearance near, on the right. A scratching sound followed, as of someone scratching himself through clothing, and then a voice Jimmy had never heard before said, "God damn, this is boring." The volume level was lower than normal, but it was by no means a whisper. A second voice, speaking more softly than the first, said, "We'll move in soon. As soon as those lights go out." Turning, Jimmy could see the lines of light at the boarded-up windows. The kerosene lamp seemed UGG Boots Clearance much brighter when seen this way. The first voice, idly complaining, said, "I don't see why we don't go in now and get it over with." "We don't want anything to happen to the boy," the second voice told him. "We'll wait till they're asleep." "What if they Ugg boots clearance stay up all night?" "We'll have to go in before dawn, no matter what." "I still say," the first voice said, "the easiest thing is let them go tomorrow, follow them with the radio trucks, and pick them up after they let off the kid." "Too much could go wrong," the second voice said. "They could split up. They could get spooked and kill the kid. And they could still get rid of that suitcase, maybe split the money here and leave it behind. No, Bradford knows what he's doing." "And I know what I'm doing," the Ugg boots clearance first voice said. "I'm getting goddam bored, that's what I'm doing. Why don't I go peek through the boards again, see if they're still watching television?" "Just wait here like we were told," the second voice said. "It won't be long now." At that point, Jimmy turned and headed back for the house, moving as carefully and as silently as he knew how. The two men continued to talk behind him, but he didn't listen any more; he already knew enough. Bradford was the' name of Ugg boots clearance the FBI man Mom had talked to on the phone. And there must be some sort of radio transmitter in the suitcase containing the ransom. And now the house was surrounded. Or was it? These people had apparently done a very solid surveillance on the house, including creeping up on the porch and looking through the window at them watching television. So they must know that the house was completely boarded up, all windows and doors, except the main entrance in front. Isn't that where they would concentrate their forces? In back, where pastureland led to woods, they would have few people or no people at all. So that's the way they'd have to get out. Thinking it over, Jimmy hurried silently toward the house. He didn't want the gang to get caught, so he'd better warn them pretty fast. Mostly his concern had an ulterior motive-if they were caught it would louse up his own plans-but he also had a kind of reluctant liking for the different members of the gang and didn't want them to get in any trouble. So he hurried. This time, when he scaled up the rope, he left the boards out of the window. Unlocking the door, hurrying downstairs, he went straight to the suitcase. A transmitter; hmmmmm.
