Birmingham's Southside Characters Remembered
This just in from Seven Brown about the Remembrance of Birmingham Southside Characters from the 1960s, '70s and '80s.
This is the new date for the event: October 19 at 6 p.m. at the 22nd Street Jazz and Blues Club.
There will be a short film on Gene Crutcher by Ned Mudd with commentary and readings about Southside by Jim Mersmann and Ted Haddin, Johnny Coley, Craig Legg, Jim Reed, Sandra Thompson, Randall Williams, Kay Virago, Danny Gamble, Michael Swindle and others.
Brown said he is still looking for stories and photos. He recently added a webpage for Birmingham bands and their histories; a photo of Peyton Strickland in her studio at Cobb Lane; several additional photos contributed by Sandra Thompson; and additional entries on the writer's page.
