When we used to visit his family in Mississippi, I used to take a detour on rainy days to Ole Miss, to the most extensive blues library in the country, I believe. I wanted to learn more about a place that was more foreign to me than Berlin and thought that one of the most intimate ways is through music. Though we're not together now, I still really love with Doc Watson and Mississippi John Hurt.Melissa McCarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495578657436631269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442455430231444267.post-57112792458584058262010-03-16T14:38:06.866-04:002010-03-16T14:38:06.866-04:00I stole my older sister's Hootie & the Blo...I stole my older sister's Hootie & the Blowfish album sometime around 1996-'97. Ever since then I've been a diehard fan. I've seen Darius, Mark, Dean, and Soni 10-15 times, and have been backstage after the show nearly every time. I was excited about HBF's move to Vanguard because I felt it would give them a chance to put out the music they wanted to instead of what the music industry was trying to force them to put out. As a side note, with HBF moving to Vanguard, it opened me up to the Vanguard Street Team. I'd been a huge Shawn Mullins fan as well, and when he was putting on a show in downtown Nashville, the Street Team sent out an email looking for someone to work his Merch. table. I responded and had one of the best times at a show ever. Shawn came over and talked with my wife and I for about an hour before the show, and it felt like we were talking with an old friend rather than a world famous musician.Big Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822871605969170493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442455430231444267.post-76448996026498673352010-03-16T14:37:14.560-04:002010-03-16T14:37:14.560-04:00Doesn't listening to Mississippi John Hurt jus...Doesn't listening to Mississippi John Hurt just make ya wanna cry?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203102220446525476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442455430231444267.post-20460211187805410172010-03-16T14:31:26.480-04:002010-03-16T14:31:26.480-04:00Vanguard artists are of particular importance to m...Vanguard artists are of particular importance to me for a variety of reasons. If I'm in the need for a full-out car blasting sing-along I put on the Indigo Girls and it reminds me of taking my best friend to an IG concert as a surprise for her 18th birthday. If my heart is broken I need Linda Rondstadt stat, and if I want something a little newer, fresher perhaps I put on the Watson Twins who I had the opportunity to meet in Boston after one of their shows. Vanguard unbeknown to me until now is a prime time player on my iPod.<br /><br />~Kaitlin<br />Kaitlin.Mattison@gmail.comKaitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821367638562246802noreply@blogger.com
