Speaker 1:
Good morning, we're gonna have some music here.
[00:30:10]
At the blue and white striped tent, and it's going to be social music from the state of Georgia,
[00:30:17]
got two main kinds of music that uh we're gonna present. Hope you enjoy, I'm sure you will.
[00:30:23]
um the first is the blues tradition, later you'll hear some good fiddling, guitar picking,
[00:30:28]
and banjo music, the old time fiddle band tradition.
[00:30:31]
We're gonna start the blues and the old time blues, the country blues,
[00:30:36]
and to present that we got two of the finest younger blues men in the South
[00:30:41]
of the country blues style, Jimmy [Lee] Harris, from Phoenix city, Alabama
[00:30:47]
and Columbus, Georgia, they're kinda (--)

[00:30:52]
Plays guitar in many of the old, traditional ways,
[00:30:55]
he learned from a woman who was um uh uh country blues musician
[00:30:59]
he learned the [[??]] in her style,
[00:31:02]
uh he plays some of the more modern blues too, plays some pre-blues music
[00:31:07]
and he can do an extraordinary feat of playing a harmonica without the harmonica.
[00:31:13]
uh another younger blue man; both these men are in their forties,
[00:31:16]
which is young for people who perform vigorously the older forms
[00:31:21]
of the country blues, rather than the more modern blues.
[00:31:24]
And the real harmonica or harp, or french harp, as [[??]] would call it
[00:31:29]
We have Neal Patman, [Pattman] from the town where I lived down in Georgia, Athens, Georgia.
[00:31:34]
Let's make them welcome.
