Wood every April 20 in celebration of the benevolent weed and the spirit of freedom and resistance shared by so many of us who smoke it in the Motor City & environs. The 2008 show added an opening set by Glowb, my homies from Flint, and I joined them on a couple of numbers before the Holice P. Wood All Stars—Chris Codish, keyboards & vocals; Bobby East, guitar; Paul Randolph, bass & vocals; and Skeeto Valdez, drums—took the stage for the rest of the evening, with Mike Boulan of No Cover Records in the house and at the recording controls to take everything down. The “live” selections from the 420 Party are capped by closing music recorded the next night at the Jazz Loft for my project THE DETROIT ALBUM with Jeff Grand on guitar, Johnny Evans on tenor saxophone, Phil Hale at the keyboards, and Tino Gross on drums, with my very special guest Thornetta Davis adding her voice to the ensemble. All music recorded in Detroit April 20-21 by Mike Boulan and edited & assembled at the HeadPress Bunker in London on May 24, 2008.

My old friend Gary Lockwood invited me to participate in the annual “Who’s Yer Mama” Earth Day festival presented by the Standing Rock Cultural Arts organization in Kent, Ohio and offered an irresistible incentive with the promise that the legendary Kidney Brothers, Robert on guitar & vocals and Jack on tenor saxophone & harmonica, plus bassist Bill Watson, would be on hand to back me up. I knew all these guys in the early 1970s and they play even better today, as they demonstrated at our concert at the Kent Stage theater on April 25. On stage they played an opening set and then brought me on, but for this episode I’ve integrated our performances to feature four of my selections and four of theirs, with Robert singing on three and Jack Kidney singing his composition “Somebody Shot Him.” Playlist #266 [00] RFA Tag > Unabonger: Opening Tokes [01] Opening Music: Kidney Brothers: Jimmy Bell Is Back in Town [02] Robert Kidney > Gary Lockwood > John Sinclair Stage Intros [03] John Sinclair & the Kidney Brothers: The Delta Sound [04] John Sinclair & the Kidney Brothers: Cross Road Blues [05] Kidney Brothers: If Somebody Starts a Fuss [06] John Sinclair & the Kidney Brothers: Intro > 21 Days in Jail [07] Kidney Brothers: Somebody Shot Him [08] Kidney Brothers: It’s a Long Way Back [09] John Sinclair & the Kidney Brothers: Chicago Bound > Outro [10] Baba Israel Outro > RFA Tag Hosted by John Sinclair for Radio Free Amsterdam Produced, recorded, edited & assembled by John Sinclair @ the Bohemian National Home, Detroit, May 3, 2009 Special thanks to Adam Brook, Gary Lockwood, Robert & Jack Kidney, Bill Watson, Hollywood, Scott Martin, Jaime, Sunny & Beyonce Sinclair, Eph’s Deli & the Bohemian National Home © 2009 John Sinclair.

Tom Silvia set up the hit with Griff of Ann Arbor Alive Radio (a3radio.com) and backed me up on guitar and vocals. At Tom’s request we attacked the second Book, “Country Blues,” of my elongated work in verse called Fattening Frogs For Snakes. Tom provided the music and the occasional vocal, inserting some of his own blues compositions into the mix and performing admirably throughout. We talked about the blues and the bluesmen in between selections and had a natural ball, ending up with Griff grilling me for about 15 minutes after the performance, which totaled just about 100 minutes.

This episode comes beaming out of the Jazz Loft in downtown Detroit from the 4th Annual John Sinclair 420 Party, Music & Art Fair produced by Holice P. Wood every April 20 in celebration of the benevolent weed and the spirit of freedom and resistance shared by so many of us who smoke it in the Motor City & environs. The 2008 show added an opening set by Glowb, my homies from Flint, and I joined them on a couple of numbers before the Holice P. Wood All Stars—Chris Codish, keyboards & vocals; Bobby East, guitar; Paul Randolph, bass & vocals; and Skeeto Valdez, drums—took the stage for the rest of the evening, with Mike Boulan of No Cover Records in the house and at the recording controls to take everything down. The “live” selections from the 420 Party are capped by closing music recorded the next night at the Jazz Loft for my project THE DETROIT ALBUM with Jeff Grand on guitar, Johnny Evans on tenor saxophone, Phil Hale at the keyboards, and Tino Gross on drums, with my very special guest Thornetta Davis adding her voice to the ensemble. All music recorded in Detroit April 20-21 by Mike Boulan and edited & assembled at the HeadPress Bunker in London on May 24, 2008.

(3-Hour Live Stream-2 from Cannabis Cup 2007) Our third and final hour of the live broadcast stream from the Cannabis College on Tuesday evening beamed out spirited conversations with brother Steve Wessing from Portland OR, the man with the stereo digital 3-D cameras who documents the coffeeshop culture in Amsterdam and around the Netherlands, and comrade Fritz Kielsmeier of the Windy City, inspired creator of unique photo frames crafted from parts of broken musical instruments and strictly given away by Standing Ovation to benefit worthy causes. Then there’s music by Lee Allen, John Sinclair & His Motor City Blues Scholars, Les Brown & His Band of Renown, Johnny Adams, Harmonica Shah, the Forgotten Souls Brass Band, the Lil’ Rascals Brass Band, and Little Freddie King to round out the afternoon.
