Wow, what an interesting piece of history. Thank you!

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
