    I lived in Oxford, MS, and got to see RL live one time, early 90s, in a small club. Got to see fellow North Mississippi blues guitarist Jr. Kimbrough in his club (where RL played regularly too) in Holly Springs, and the atmosphere was much like this. Throw in a bass and drums but not much more space and you have the idea. One of the best nights of my life, to see and feel and HEAR the power of this music, these people. This is one of the poorest counties in the country, and I drove up from Oxford with my two also very white friends, my Gf and her friend, and lo and behold we all forgot to bring money. I had left my wallet behind, too late to turn back. We counted the little bit we had, including dimes and nickels, and made a little over 5 bucks. Which was 5 cold Busch beers. After those 5, we were counting our dimes to see if we could make another beer, but alas, no. There were pool tables on the side, and I saw a man, much like one of the people in this video, motion me over. I went over and he asked what I was doing. I told him the story, that we were counting our money to see if we could make another beer, and he gave me a 5 and told me to have fun. I will nver forget that as long as I live.

      Indeed, the Blues and other great music is a comfort to me. My mother was born in 1920, and she loved jazz and swing music from the 30s and 40s. Now that I can look up music I remember her singing, I've discovered that she was a huge Louis Jordan fan, because she knew and sang his music. Now that I can hear the original LJ and his Tympany Five, I'm a big fan too! IMO, his very funny song, "Saturday Night Fish Fry" is very early Hip Hop!

      I loved Canned Heat's take on Delta Blues, because their sincerity and love for the music was obvious.
      I never did like Eric Clapton though, not him as a person or his boring music. Yeah, he plays guitar very well, but I never thought he FELT this music in his soul the way it's intended. He just heard music he could steal to make money from.
      Maybe I dislike him because he broke up George Harrison's marriage, and then after he stole George's wife, he got tired of her and dumped her.😉
      Clapton just always seemed disingenuous to me. IMO, he ruined "Crossroads" by overdoing the electric guitars and making it into a jangly mess that ruined the true spirit of the song. The song should be "haunt-y", not jaunty.
      Eric Clapton's version (with Cream) of "I'm So Glad" is so cringey that I hated the song, until I heard the 1931 original by the man who wrote it, Skip James. At least the band Cream paid Skip James royalties for stinking up his great song, but I think James was the better guitar picker, and vocalist.
      Canned Heat understood, and they kept that spooky kind of swamp-voodoo spirit simplicity of the blues songs, with the harmonica, falsetto voice, and rhythm guitar.

    White people went to Honky Tonks (hence the name), black people went to juke joints or juke houses. We had one in my hometown, Farrell, Mississippi, about 8 miles west of Clarksdale, called the Wagon Wheel. Robert Nighthawk, Elmore James, Sonny Boy and Little Walter all played there. When I was a little white boy, I used to go up there and peek in the window. It looked a lot like this - nothing fancy. When I was in my late teens up until I was in my 30s, I used to hang out in juke joints around Clarksdale. What few there are in Mississippi now are all tourist traps, sanitized for your protection. Back in the 50-60s a lot of the patrons carried guns. It was pretty rough. I knew several people who were shot or stabbed in them. Great film. Pretty raw alright. Not sanitized…💙

    What’s amazing to me is people back then had so little, all they needed was a guitar and a voice and maybe a little moonshine, rot gut, bath tub gin, grandpa’s hooch or a simple beer to dance and have a good time. Now they need an entire spectacle of singers, dancers, drill team routine, pyrotechnics, pre - recorded music with pitch correction, pharmaceutical drugs etc… people listen with their eyes now instead of with their ears, heart and soul. It make me sad… and at the same time it makes me happy that I’m not one of those people
