Podcast appearances and mentions of archie edwards

Archie L. Edwards (4 de septiembre de 1918 - 18 de junio de 1998) fue un guitarrista de blues del Piamonte americano, que en una carrera esporádica que abarcó varias décadas trabajó con Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James y John Jackson. Sus grabaciones más conocidas son "Saturday Night Hop", "The Road Is Rough and Rocky" y "I Called My Baby Long Distance". A finales de los 50 tenía una barbería que atraía a músicos de blues que le ayudaron a empezar su carrera musical.

Rick Franklin started playing the trumpet when he was young, then harmonica, and finally found guitar. He played in rock bands, but met Archie Edwards and John Jackson and fell in love with their style of playing, Piedmont blues. He used to regularly visit Archie's Barbershop, which he said was a "safe space where a group of black men could hang out and not feel threatened." He still loves the Barbershop community today, but gets a lot of satisfaction playing farmers' markets, seeing people enjoy music. "Seeing the joy on their faces puts a big smile on my face too!" He says music makes a difference in peoples' lives; "If you feel it, don't hide it."

Eleanor Ellis loved to sing as a child and played a lot in New Orleans during college, especially bluegrass. She moved to Maryland and started playing "spiritual and truth" music with Flora Molton, and also played country blues with Archie Edwards. She is one of the founders of the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation. She says it is really positive and good for people to connect, and music does that. Music is a way of making bonds and "music creates a sense of community."

Willie Leebel is the current president of "Archie's Barbershop," where there are acoustic blues jams every Saturday afternoon, as well as workshops and performances throughout the year. The Barbershop is open to all levels of players and listeners and is the hub of a wonderful music community. Learning how to jam is crucial, and Willie says, "You have to leave room for other musicians; that's jam etiquette. The mojo of the Barbershop is learning to listen."

After a 60-hour work week, it's great to be back in The Roadhouse Studios. Though life can be a tough road, The Roadhouse offers a bit of shelter from the world and a way to relax after your own trying week. I did manage to bring a bit of that tough edge into the show, though. Hard urban blues by folks like Pete Cornelius, Roy Buchanan and Walter Trout are counterbalanced by Watermelon Slim and Archie Edwards. A listener comment, another Roadhouse Rewound and a little useful information round out the 74th Roadhouse Podcast - another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

Like the variety of colors in the trees outside The Roadhouse, Roadhouse 036 provides all the hues of the blues. The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Jeff Fetterman Band, Teresa James, Archie Edwards, and Marchia ball provide the reds and golds, with nine other great blues artists filling in the rest of the foliage. The Roadhouse 036 is fourteen cuts, one hour that all resolve to the deepest shade of blue and the finest blues you've never heard.
