  2. I had the chance to be at this festival. Certainly a pioneering show with an attendance mixing blacks and whites at a time when the segregation was over but no for so long (1962 I guess in Mississippi). Friendly atmosphere and some great acts, paticurarly Johnny Shines and Boyd Rivers. Big Joe was at his usual high standard too despite his health. I still have the Video K7

  6. I went to the $5 Blues festival at Freedom Village in the early 80s. It was killer.
