Guess I flew by that 40's reference....lol.
If you can find me a guitar like Sister Tharpe was playing ,made in the 40's, please let me know. It's never too late to rewrite history. Tom "Guitarboy" wrote in message . ..

How is it that I'd heard of Robert Johnson and all the other relatively obscure blues figures, but never heard of Rosetta Tharp? From the short archive footage, you could tell that this woman was playing electric guitar in a style that most would recognize as "modern" rocking blues, and the backdrop of the robed gospel singers just made the whole thing even more surreal. Wild! I see a Rosetta Tharp revival coming on! And hearing Tom Jones tell the Joe Meek stories as Jeff Beck snickers in the background was priceless. Last night, Clint Eastwood chatted with Ray Charles at the piano. What a great show.

Artie what got me was that she was really ripping away. her playing was so clean and crisp her technique was almost a decade ahead of anything i can recall in that era. the sound was amazing too. someone needs to re-issue some cd's and release a dvd!!!!! no wonder those brits wound up playing such great guitar. they knew about her and we didnt. |

I just ran to my local Borders and grabbed a copy of The Gospel of the
Blues by SRT. It's pretty good. I think there's more out there too. I'm on a MASSIVE hunt for anything I can find from her. I too would LOVE to have a DVD of that footage I saw on this special. Also, for those of you that don't venture into new music stores too often. There was a pretty nice display of blues that's tied in with this PBS series. A lot of CD's that are sort of best of's....Ledbelly, Wolf, Mud, Hook, Lightning, Etta, Elmore, etc.... I also picked up the sole copy of Electric Mud. Hey, I'd always thought it was crap, but had never heard it. If it's good enough for Chuck D, I'll give it a spin or two. Also grabbed a nice 2 CD set of Chess songs. All the usual stuff, but a nice collection and even a few that I didn't already own. later, m |

That was my least favorite- too much bland documentary style for me
considering they had artistic license to do otherwise- and not nearly enough Jeff Beck playing- they coulda had him do a slow blues and it would have been the highlight of the film! Om "WillStG" wrote in message ... Artie Turner I think I liked the Mike Figgis directed British Blues Episode best so far, but that's how I started out and those guys were my heros. |

No doubt , camera guys got in the way and asked to move stuff out of "their " shot ! regards Greg Garthrr wrote: In article , (WillStG) writes: That Clint Eastwood joint was a tutorial in jazz and blues piano micing technique... Very cool. I thought the piano miking was interesting--partly the fact that they used Sony 800Gs (if I'm not mistaken) which I would guess are large diaphram and also the placement of the two mics. It was kinda hard to see but I think they had one set up toward the keyboard end of the piano and another close to the other end of the piano. Was that an AT 4060 that was set up as a vocal mic when they weren't using the 251? Garth~ "I think the fact that music can come up a wire is a miracle." Ed Cherney |

What struck me was the MS pair of something they had about 3 1/2 feet up in the sweet spot with a C12 over the player's head, were they the 800Gs, I thought maybe AT's? And the music stand removed micing with one mic on the player end of the piano 3 feet up and one mic on the far end on that lyrical jazz player guy, that was a nice sound.
