Comments on: Nouveau Oldtime Jam: Blind Boy Paxton, Dom Flemons (of Carolina Chocolate Drops), and Frank Fairfield http://boingboing.net/2009/11/06/nouveau-oldtime-jam.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Anonymous http://boingboing.net/2009/11/06/nouveau-oldtime-jam.html#comment-655120 Anonymous Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-655120 This is a great article. I had the pleasure of attending college for a stint with Mr Jerron Paxton, and that man is not only entertaining with his music, but also his sense of humor. Never in my life have I seen a blind man walk smack into the side of a door and then laugh about it with the entire room. This is a great article.

This vid's got me hankerin' for some corn meal mush fried in bacon grease. Ok, some butterbeans, too.

It is neat to see "fore-arm style" fiddle playing! It sounds a bit different and is not usually seen nowdays... very nice combination of sounds in this tune!! This is great!
