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.

No kidding! I sent emails to a bunch a friends after seeing Sister
Rosetta Tharp on "The Blues." 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.

Just another reminder of a legacy of male chauvinist piggery when it
comes to music and money. And a sorry statemnt about what has been
missed that might have been, and not just her; surely there were others
of whom we know nothing.

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.

She's amazing. Judgement Day (?) is my favorite. You can hear how few
teeth she has in the recording. I think it comes from the Harry Smith
collection.

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.

That Clint Eastwood joint was a tutorial in jazz and blues piano micing
technique... Very cool.

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.

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!

Yeah it was a bit anti guitar by Directorial fiat, but the singing man,
Van Morrison, Tom Jones, Lulu, they can _really_ sing the blues... Figgis
structured the thing with no headphones and everything acoustic, he didn't want
it to be "self indugent" ( I think that meant guitar solos..) But Beck played
some very cool Blues riffs without even thinking while he was talking to Tom
Jones, and some of his jazz guitars runs were incredible...

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?

No doubt , camera guys got in the way and asked to move stuff out of

Was that an Octave 012 on the Ray Charles Piano? There was a Ampex 4
track in the background.

For what it's worth, when I saw Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the mid
'70's, she was playing an ES-335.

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.

Almost the whole series was like that,downright embarrassing, as
though they felt the music and musicians weren't interesting enough
without 'artistic enhancement'.

The episode directed by Clint was right on the money

I can certainly understand that. Blues was really having the blues in
the US when B.B. needed to make money, but it was really popular in
Great Britain. What they contributed to his art form was a burning
interest in hearing more and more. I don't mean this in a sarcastic
way - if it wasn't for the British, a lot of blues artists in America
would still be elevator operators or working for the Post Office.

I noticed two mics together somewhere near that end, maybe
near the stick, and I assumed they were in an MS configuration
due to their orientation. But what do I know?

Big Jim is still playing the odd gig around here in Portsmouth - I
haven't been to see him for years but I remember him being a really
friendly guy when I met him.
