Woody Saturday (10th September 2022)

Re-potting my patio plum tree was at a halfway stage last week, being given a soak in some water, but this week's gardening was delayed until this morning due to the rains, welcome as they were. As well as successfully completing that operation, Refna decided that the grapes on my vine were ready for their first harvest. These are Regent grapes (Vitis vinifera), a dark-skinned cool-weather German inter-specific hybrid variety, used for making wine. It was her idea to include a couple of vine leaves for my still life.

The week's events gave us both much to discuss.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Muddy Waters - Herbert Harper's Free Press News (recorded May 1968, Ter Mar Studios, Chicago IL)
Muddy Waters (vcl) with Rotary Connection: Gene Barge (ten/sop sax), Pete Cosey (ld gtr), Phil Upchurch (gtr), Roland Faulkner (gtr), Charles Stepney (organ), Louis Satterfield (bass), Morris Jennings (dr)
Label founder's son Marshall Chess wanted to bring the blues to a white rock audience so he put Muddy Waters together with his psychedelic band Rotary Connection to make the album Electric Mud. Some were updates of songs from his back catalogue, some, like this one, were new. It was controversial at the time, but not to me. Jimi Hendrix would play this track for inspiration before going on stage - that's justification enough for me.
