Introduction/Definition/etc

 

TinnerHill.orgBluesFestival

 

Falls Church has a Blues Festival this weekend,

and kicked off at theStateTheatre.com with

Chuck Brown,

Bobby Parker,

Miss Nadine Rae & Band.

Comedy too. 

Tina Turner showed up. 

Michelle Obama showed up...

(Impersonated by Nicky Sunshine,

and the humor was sharp!)

 

TinnerHill.org

 

Some free stuff at the Cherry Hill Park Saturday.

Happens in various forms (some $$) all weekend. 

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...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

See FusionImprobableattheKennedyCenter

and StElizabethsSummerConcertSeries

and even CarrieFishersWishfulDrinkingAtLincoln

plus bonus BusGirl

for background of the experience...

 

I still can't dance, but I didn't drink,

spent a lot, financial binge actually,

$30 entry (w/o food, $10 food minmum

but I'm not a VIP,

so didn't get the little bag of goodies... :-( ),

$40 = 2x $20 Chuck Brown t shirts,

$15 Best of Chuck Brown CD,

$15 Bobby Parker t shirt

$15 Tinner Hill t shirt

 

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...
