TYVM for another great post of the AFBF Gerard - great stuff!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup, Gérard!
RépondreSupprimerThank you for completing the AFBF experience!
RépondreSupprimerMerci Gérard. Très appréciable d'écouter cette belle série des "complete AFB". Prenez soin de vous.
RépondreSupprimerThank you for another great set!
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Gerard. Another great and important posting.
RépondreSupprimerThe impact of the AFBFs on England's and Europe's blues and beat royalty has never been properly told. Clapton, Stones and thousands more were first exposed to the blues when the AFBFs visited our shores! They got here the respect and appreciation they didn't get at home. I also remember how I spent a small fortune to buy a bottle of whiskey after closing time for Fred McDowell to be able to go on stage...and how I helped John Lee Hooker cope with signing the many fans' LPs pushed trough the door...Great times and fond memories!
Thanks Varenna. I wrote many essays on the great importance and influence of those first AFBFs. All those were strongly featured in my Encyclopedia of the blues since the very first edition in 1979
SupprimerThank you, Gerard. Will look up for sure. But why did this not get more coverage in the general musical press? A real pity as this would have helped many cash strapped blues musicians. A few exceptions of course, e.g. Fred MacDowell playing in the supporting program of the Stones...Thanks for all!
SupprimerFantastic! i first saw the AFB Festival in 1968 ..made me discover a whole new universe! Merci beaucoup!

Thank you very much for this fantastic look back at a time when the blues were not well receipted in the USA but Europe gave them a chance to shine and change the face of music.
RépondreSupprimerThanks
RépondreSupprimerHi Gerard,
RépondreSupprimerWas wondering if you could help me out with Arkansas Slim.
Willie Miller, Jr. A.K.A. Arkansas Slim – Nine Pounds Of Steel (Leopard 002) (1984). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Wonderful.
RépondreSupprimerI was at their concert in the Hague that year. I remember nearly all still. And how they teased Little Brother Montgomery about being so homesick.
RépondreSupprimerThanks a lot for sharing this!
Spectacular. Thank you.
