Unfortunately not. Everything that is in color in that clip was taken from Alan Lomax’s U-matic videos he shot between 1975-85, and were used by Mississippi Records courtesy of the Alan Lomax archive. Supposedly, all of it (400 hours!) plus a couple thousand hours of audio recordings will all go online for free some day. There are probably notes to say who the guitarist was, along with the other roots musicians in the 24 minutes that were shown, but Eric didn’t say.

REPOST, with some words I wrote on Father’s Day 2011:

My father, circa 1975.

Things my father taught me: to love the desert and the mountains, to shape clay with my hands, to carve wood with a pocket knife, to travel, to solder a silver brooch, to build a fire in a hole in the ground and bake new pottery in it, to shoot a rifle, to drink Irish whiskey, to lose my temper real good, to love women with intensity, to print from a glass plate, to tell the time from the sun, to dream big dreams, to strike up friendly conversation with complete strangers (this one I’m still working on…), to take a deep breath and jump and not to worry because it’s the end of the world.

Went to this amazing lecture/screening this evening by Eric Isaacson of Mississippi Records, mainly presenting films, sounds and images from the Alan Lomax archive from the 1950’s to the 1980’s, plus releases from his own label of super underground folk music from many different American regions and cultures, from Moondog and Sun Ra to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and a virtual parade of down-home, front-porch blues, soul, gospel and country by people who might have been your neighbors some decades ago. Eric and Alan’s message to resist the technological monoculture of the entertainment industry never rang truer than right now.
