Meet Vanessa Miller in person at her book signing on park road books store 2024 she was so nice it was nice meeting her in person.

The Griswolds were one of the greatest and most under-appreciated blues acts of all time. Raw, real. RIP Art and Roman.

Barbados is very beautiful country in the Caribbean. ❤❤❤

I’m Gullah on my mom’s side and I just did 23 and me. They gave me a Barbados region. I wanna visit the Island one day.

RIP Spencer.

Lowcountry Blues Bash was our annual blues fest in Charleston, SC (1991-2012, February, 10-12 days, citywide). 2000…One of the first years we did shows in the Main Library, lunchtime. Kenny was great. That is young Steve Sandifer on drums. Thanks to Peter Pasolini and Kevin Crothers, our coordinators.

Barbados is such a wonderful place and a cradle of history.

What is the name of the song at 38:00

If you dig deeper you will find that the Native American and native Barbados were black. Blacks people (moors) were the originators of everything that the British empire established. Even the surnames came from the Black ruling classes in Europe.The Moors who originated in North Africa conquered Spain and ruled from 711 to 1492. Overturned in 1492 at the this time Christopher Colombus land in America and saw the copper colored natives with hair texture that was kinky. Some of the moors were captured and enslaved. Some flees to Africa and were later captured and enslaved. Most of black people during slavery did not come from Africa but were already here in America. The European only modeled what blacks had established thousands of years of prior and stole our legacy after we fell. All land on this planet originated with Black people. The history that we have been taught has been corrupted and turned upside down. So don’t just think this part of our history is limited to the Caribbean. We have been deceived into thinking that the European discovered and founded what we see today but in essence they stole and copied what we have done from creation with its peak in Egypt.

Gosh I was there for this… at the library. KZbin just served it up me 18 yrs later. She pulled me in & has come so far with natural talent.

Gullah and Geechee have nothing to do with each other. Geechee is NOT African like Gullah. Anyone in SC over 50 can explain this. These 2 things got conflated when the state created tourist districts and created the Gullah-Geechee corridor. Before that Gullah and Geechee were never used together or synonymous with each other. Gullah is a dialect & culture. Geechee is an accent very specific to a small part of the SC lowcountry. The 2 most famous people associated with Geechee were white. SC Senator Earnest Fritz Hollings and long time Charleston Mayor Joe Riley.

Wonderful commentary.

Sadly this man does not know the map of Barbados very well . He clearly is misinformed about the following west coast east coast Plantations Bridgetown He got it all mixed up Left side is the west coast of barbados The right side of the map is the east coast of barbados Bridgetown is not on the east side SMH

🎉

Great to hear the master perform. He was personally recommended to me by another great player, Todd Albright, who is well worth listening to. Shame about the pea -brained turd talking all the way through this, but there`s one in every audience.

멋진연주에 감동입니다 연주자님들에게 경의를 표합니다

Colony is my most favorite novel of all time. Anne Rivers Siddons’ storytelling, and gracious way with words, was a lovely gift to the world. Very grateful for her body of work.

Love it!!!! Brilliant stuff

I know this dude

Brad is my new favorite.....I can't stop 😂🤣😅

Gullah, are like she said-from the Caribbean or the current US and combinations thereof

The best you can get!

can we use it outside library ?

I remember Mr Green and my Teacher Ms Middleton. Happy memories!

I didn't know how spoiled this man made me. Been his bass player for over 20 years as well as his son. After the gig was done we would be in the motel together and he'd start playing acoustic. It was like my own personal show. Man the memories I have of him. Just wow is all I can say... I sure miss him very much

Incredible performance

So much feeling he doesn't just knock it out the park, he almost knocks himself out at times 3:18 but snaps right back to it. Great performance! Man can really juke it!

Magnificent

Thank you. This contributed new information to my research. Like others, I learned about Reed only a few years ago. Several accounts report that former slaves helped raise the Statue of Freedom on Dec 2, 1863. Wikipedia states "Late in 1863, construction of the dome was sufficiently advanced for the installation of the statue, which was hoisted by former slaves in sections and assembled atop the cast-iron pedestal." Have you encountered this too? This fact offered some comfort although it is shameful how frequently Phillip Reed's body was disinterred and buried again. At last he is in a permanent setting in Harmony Memorial Park in Hyattsville, MD. On April 16, 2014, a full 151 years and 4 months after the installation, a plaque honoring his contribution to America was placed on his grave. May his stature be known and the Freedom Statue's promise be fulfilled.

I adored this book and look forward to the next one. The FBA characters were very well written, powerful and dignified without the typical stereotypes and whyte saviors buffoonery.
