Sunflower River, Mississippi. En route from New Orleans to Memphis in Jan of 2020. We left Vancouver island for a long tour. Down through Washington State, Idaho, Montana, and up to Alberta then down on to the beloved Crescent 🌙 City... on up through Mississippi to Tennessee.
We took some time to feel the dirt and precious spirits of Dockery Farm, an old cotton plantation on the Sunflower River. It is widely regarded as the birthplace of the Delta Blues where many musicians played including the mighty Howling Wolf, Robert Johnson and in my opinion, the original punk, the Godfather of the Blues... which is really rock and roll, boogie, punk, metal hardcore and everything in between... the inimitable Charley Patton.
Jazz had been feeling unwell for about a week at this time. The beginning of what would be a nasty 5-week bout with what was surely covid. Al was soon to get it as well and it hit us both like a freight train. We somehow powered through 30 some odd shows feeling like ragged ass. It was rough. It is incredibly soul-sucking to try and perform and your when you are sick. Trying to do anything when you are that rocked.
At the Memphis Blues Challenge, we were crammed into packed bars where they still smoke cigarettes indoors, waiting for our turn to play ...just trying to breathe. We would keep going outside and hack away, everyone just teased us... "ah you got a cold, your fine". We could not relate the severity. We couldn’t have made it without the help of Ken Simms that is for sure.
I often wonder how we made it through and thinking back fondly on how fortunate we were to share time in a sacred land like Dockery. A land that fills the inspiration and gratitude well, keeps the tank rolling.
Little did we know we would slide into home base about 1.5 months later right as everything slammed shut. It is difficult to fathom the weight of what this year has been on everyone.
Sending sweet old love out far and wide today. May we all find our little wells. Take care out there in these sideways times.
XOOX
A.W. & Jazz.

LYRICS
Shake It and Break It (But Don't Let It Fall, Mama)
Songwriter: Charley Patton
You can shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
Throw it out the window, catch it 'fore it fall
You can shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
Everybody have a jelly roll like mine, I lives in town
I ain't got no brown, an' I want it now
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
You can snatch it, you can grab it, you can break it
You can twist it, anyway that I love to get it
I had my right mind since I, I blowed this town
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
Jus' shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
It out the window, catch it 'fore it falls
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
I ain't got nobody here but me and myself
I stay blue all the time, aw, when the sun goes down
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
You can shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it fall
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
You can snatch it, you can grab it
You can break it, you can twist it
Any way that I love to get it
I had my right mind, I be worried sometime
'Bout a jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
Just shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
I know I been to town, I, I walked around
I, start leavin' town, I, I fool around
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
Just shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall
Jus' shake it, you can break it
You can hang it on the wall
it out the window, catch it 'fore it
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it
