might sign off for the day with this great song . . .and it summarises all I believe in the current state of the world . . . . US vs THEM!? There is only one race the human race and I will not condemn my brother and sisters for adhering to an invisible line on a map

Schoolboy Cleve - She’s Gone (1954)

Guess I'm Dumb says "I’ll admit that the reason I listened to this cool blues track was that I liked the name Schoolboy Cleve. But Cleveland White’s harp playing and the groove kept me coming back.

Jesse Fuller - “San Francisco Bay Blues” [Arhoolie Foundation]

 New additions to our digital archive: Dietrich Wawzyn’s documentaries on American blues and hillbilly music.

In 1963, Chris Strachwitz accompanied German filmmaker Dietrich Wawzyn on a trip throughout the United States to document American roots music. The results of this trip were short documentaries made for German television featuring American blues and country musicians. “50 Sterne in Musik: Blues” includes Willie B. Thomas, Mance Lipscomb, Black Ace Turner, Alexander Moore, Lightnin' Hopkins, Buster Pickens, Barbara Dane, Jesse Fuller, and Lowell Fulson. “50 Sterne in Musik: Hillbilly” includes J.E. Mainer and his Mountaineers, the Hodges Brothers, the Lewis Family, the Willis Brothers, the Goodtime Washboard Three, and Blind James Campbell and his Nashville Street Band. These documentaries are now available on archive.arhoolie.org.

In this clip, Jesse Fuller plays “San Francisco Bay Blues” on guitar, harmonica, kazoo, and fotdella (a string bass instrument played with a foot pedal–Fuller’s own invention). From “50 Sterne in Musik: Blues” (1963)

Arhoolie Foundation 

in memory of my brother Steve (who introduced me to Jesse and this a favourite song and partly why I wanted to go to San Franscisco) . . . so I DID!
