I’ve been taking photos for just about one year.
Some are decent, some cringeworthy; others Chamber of Commerce cornball. But lately, I’ve been improving.
Today I am sorting and framing. Little makes me happier than giving away a photo I’m proud of to someone I love.
Once I’ve printed, framed, and given away a picture I delete the file. My gift recipients have a truly unique gift.
Today’s activities are fueled by coffee and accompanied by music from the mighty river that is American Exceptionalism. Clifton Chenier is next up.

NOVEMBER 29th NEW ARRIVALS!!
So I brought in my boxes of new arrivals a day early this week as I will be in the store both Friday & Saturday this weekend. I'm hoping to run into some old friends and music buddies. I did bring in the cool Christmas LP's that I've gathered through the year like the pictured Supremes album and the classic Phil Spector Christmas LP. Also more great Reggae & International records from my friend's collection like the pictured highlights Fela Kuti - Zombie, the great Ethiopians Trojan label UK comp, the killer Augustus Pablo - East of the River Nile, and an original Indian label copy of a Ravi Shankar LP. Also pictured are some very cool 60's Specialty label R'N'B faves by Don & Dewey and Clifton Chenier. Also in the mix were two Brian Eno Ambient records (one pictured) and an original Led Zeppelin Three album. And lots more so stop in tomorrow or Saturday to see what's up. And next week as well as I have 2 batches of new purchases in the vinyl pipeline!
Thanks - Josh Ferko / Stax of Trax Records

Sherman Robertson (October 27, 1948 - January 28, 2021) born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana is a blues guitarist, songwriter, and singer, who has been described as “one part zydeco, one part swamp blues, one part electric blues, and one part classic rhythm and blues.”
At the age of 13, he watched a performance on television by Hank Williams. Duly inspired and equipped with a cheap guitar purchased by his father, he started playing the songs previously performed by Freddie King and Floyd London. As he lived close to the Duke/Peacock recording studio, he took the opportunity to acquaint himself with some of the musicians who recorded there. In his late teens, he played in a band in various bars in his Fifth Ward, Houston neighborhood.
In 1982, Clifton Chenier heard his band playing at the Crosstown Blues Festival. He moved back to Louisiana, learned to play slide guitar, and toured for several years in the 1980s with Chenier. He contributed to his Live At The (1982) and San Francisco Blues Festival (1985) albums. After Chenier’s death, he played with Rockin’ Dopsie, appearing on his Crowned Prince Of Zydeco album (1986), and Terrance Simien & the Mallet Playboys, before going solo.
His guitar work appeared on Paul Simon’s Graceland album, and he was on the bill at the 1994 Notodden Blues Festival. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Classic clip of Clifton Chenier. My fellow creole folks already know. Zydeco is part of the blues roots in Black music. It's just the creole part of it.
