When Joel and Ethan Coen put Tommy Johnson (a blues musician whose early history is often confused/combined with that of Robert Johnson) into O Brother, Where Art Thou', I thought it was a neat little narrative trick. No problem with it whatsoever. When I read that there's a plan to make a fictionalized road movie featuring Jimi Hendrix, I have a negative gut reaction. Maybe it's that this film wouldn't...
Well Sir, its almost that great season again, so I thought I'd like to express my opinion and be the first to say ..."MERRY CHRISTMAS with a Capitol C" _______________________________________ I've posted some of Tommy Johnson's Boogey Woogey before, but sinse today is kind of dark and dreary where we live, lets live'n it up a beat or two fer Y'all... ______________________________________...

Today, we honor veterans. I remember my brother Dave, a Category 8 veteran, who passed away March 26th, 2008. Dave served as a Lieutenant in the US Army; when my daughter is commissioned, I'll have the honor of pinning his butter bars on her shoulders. A fellow veteran emailed me a story from The Huffington Post : "2,266 Veterans Died In 2008 Because They Were Uninsured" According to a study...
Paul and Annie work on one of their electric numbers. (Jim White photo) As you will no doubt remember, I was really looking forward to seeing the very fine blues duo of Paul Rishell and Annie Raines Friday night at the Thunderbird Cafe. Well, I did exactly that, and I did not leave disappointed -- just like the rest of the audience. Their ability to create an intimate evening of passionate music carved...

Canned Heat was launched by two blues enthusiasts, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, who took the name from Tommy Johnson’s 1928 Canned Heat Blues, a song about an alcoholic who has desperately turned to drinking Sterno, generically called “canned heat”.

It's a proper local derby for me. If you use TheAA .com Kings Hill is 30.4 miles to The Valley and only 16.2 miles to The Priestfield Stadium. Add to that the fact that a former colleague is a Gills fan and will be going and it becomes much more serious. In fact, as we are technically friends (from today until Saturday morning and again from Sunday) I have decided to go and sit in the home end. My...

Civilian communities need to grow and the military needs to train. Determining how those two needs can co-exist was the purpose of a third and final Joint Land Use Study meeting in Enterprise on Thursday evening.

What a great film. The Cohen Brothers at their best in my opinion. It’s a wonderfully clever retelling of Homer’s Iliad in the style of a 3 Stooges movie set in an alternate universe during a time period much like Depression/Dust Bowl era America. But as this is not a film blog, I digress [...]
