Ole Skool Majorette & Drummer Jamboree 2012
Ole Skool Majorette & Drummer Jamboree, Memphis Cook Convention Center, 4/21/12 6 PM
The Ranchero is an old-school place along old Highway 61 in Clarksdale, and a definite must-visit for lovers of great steaks and seafood. On the particular night I was there, the Juke Joint Festival had the place packed to capacity, particularly the 65 or so students from the Stax Academy in Memphis. They thanked the restaurant staff by singing a lovely version of “There Is A Balm In Gilead”, an unexpected performance for employees and patrons alike.Â

The Baby Blues Drum Line is comprised of young Memphis drummers who are amazingly talented for their young age. They frequently appear at Memphis events, but it was unexpected to encounter them at Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale. Wherever they go, they always attract a crowd.Â

Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham (via Memphis Jones.com)
Dear Memphis Music Lovers,
Spend a few short minutes watching this amazing video of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham performing a song Penn composed with Chips Moman during a 30-minute poker game break in a hotel room in Memphis back in ‘66. Although it became a Top 10 single for James Carr in ‘67, NOTHING compares to these two legends playing it together acoustically. Every genre of American music can be found in this astonishing and soulful rendition of The Dark End Of The Street.
Sincerely,
Memphis Jones
