 Line Dancing At The Gay Hawk  C'C editor Harold Conover and Willie Mitchell | The Chittlin Circuit was invited to Memphis, Tn., the Tuesday following the Jackson Music Awards by the CEO of the Jus' Blues Music Foundation Mr. Charles Mitchell. The Chittlin Circuit was given a prelimenary look at the venu where the Jus' Blues Music Awrads are going to be held, the Daisy Theater on Beale Street. The Jus' Blues management team needed to make several stops and we were allowed to tag along. Our first stop was at the Daisy Theater and we met with the owner Randel Catron. We then headed to the North end of Memphis to the offices of radio power house, WDIA. We then stopped by Royal Studios where we spent a little time with the world famous producer Willie Mitchell and his son Boo. Willie Mitchell is the person who produced All of Al Green's famous songs in the '70's and '80's. Their latest project, "Mashaa" can be heard on Chittlin Circuit Radio at any time just by requesting one of her songs. The final stop of the day was at the historic Gay Hawk lounge. You don't have to worry about the price of drinks there, you can bring your own! Our final stop was with Larry Chambers the long time promotional person for Ecko Records And as always the Chittlin Circuit took a ton of pictures which you can view in our Photo Gallery. |
