Posted by Ari Eisinger on June 12, 2007, 6:39 pm, in reply to "Re: Lonnie Johnson" I haven't really decided on what slow tunes to include, so I'll definitely give the Texas Alexander accompaniments another listen. I do want to cover some of his customary licks, but there may be room for more than one slow break and/or accompaniment. Thanks for the suggestion. It may help me wade through the piles of slow recordings he made! -- Ari --Previous Message--

Hi, John!
: Hi Ari,
: I was wondering if you had any intention of
: including one of Lonnie Johnson's
: accompaniments of Texas Alexander in the
: Lonnie Johnson video you are preparing. I
: think Lonnie's accompaniments for Alexander
: were really superlative, actually my
: favorites of his blues playing. I think
: something about Alexander's unpredictable
: phrasing kept Lonnie on his toes and
: prevented him from relying so heavily on his
: customary licks. I know it may be beyond
: the purview of what you've had in mind, but
: I was just wondering.
: All best,
: Johnm

: Yes, I am working on a Lonnie Johnson video.
: After that, I'll be doing one on Rev. Gary
: Davis's Early Recordings and another on
: Blind Blake (with different songs than are
: on Woody Mann's Blind Blake video). As for
: Charlie Patton, I'm not sure whether I'll be
: doing that or not, but if so, it will
: definitely be after the other three.
: Unfortunately, I'm very slow in getting
: ready for these videos, so I can't say when
: they'll be out.
:
: Thanks for your interest. I'm glad you've
: enjoyed the ones I've done so far.

: Ari,
: I have enjoyed both your videos and albums,
: and I look forward to whatever you might
: next share with us. Is it true that you
: were/are working on a Lonnie Johnson
: instructional video? Charlie Patton is
: another giant that I would love to see your
: take on.
:
: What is in the works?
