Wished I'd known previous years...

Body
John Jackson was a man who became a grave digger
at the local Oakwood cemetery for a better
life around the big city.
I don't know if music was his hobby,
but he's now quite a hit...
Premiere presentation of a biographical movie at the
State Theatre kickoff and a musical legend.
Nice movie about his life included his son
talking about the chore of entertaining
his dad's friend Eric from England for two weeks
is priceless.
Much more history of Piedmont style
(between Appalachia further north and
deep south) country blues and music
lesson by a EthnoMusicologist
a Ph. D. who wasn't exactly stuffy,
but a little cerebral [and pale].
Primary sources guys/ gals ;-/
Anyway, good history,
something you don't think of in Northern
Virginia as much. A woman said the people
from DC would not be coming out here.
And website says the first NAACP chapter...

Blues Music Therapy after re-inspection: Priceless
Discussion of loss and blues, therapeutic...
In the range of what it might have cost if I had
seen the doc and gotten a person to help with the
Hoarding in an emergency basis...
and Frozen Dairy Bar ( fdbpizza.com ) food slip before
Teens still have attitude...
Classic FDB moved a little over in the strip mall,
used to be a roadside shcck where IHOP is now,
was over on another mall on Washington Street?
toward where Cemetery and old BikeNashbar
were located...
Overeaters beware of Entenneman's (sp?) thirft Bakery
nearby FDB too..
Down home southern food also across the way,
at Binkleys across Rt 50 near the motel...
Note To Self: Need to make up a blog business card
to get a press pass?
See other published articles as photographers
and other press likely in the house last night.
Search for their articles and link here,
too tired and lazy to write well...
And as the song goes "the police come knocking"
but had my little hobbyist camera running for
clips and one full song. People walking
in front of it a lot, and audio really bad,
could feel the beat upstairs, and downstairs,
Deaf would have done well with it...
but video clip(s) and stills were a personal reminder.
Unlike other places that restrict it,
others made little clips, and took photos
with real honking lenses...
Guys and their lenses.. ;-/
Prefer Creative Commons Share and Share A Like
With Attribution...
I recommend seeing Chuck and Bobby
and everyone in person.
Say hi, but have the better than BenX
social skills to thank him for what
he and others are doing...
Sorry to hear about Little Ben/
Lil Ben?, now I need to go learn who that was..
Heard Chuck on the radio recently too...
