My annual Bill Barth Memorial Concert at the 420 Café took place this year on the night before American Thanksgiving and constitutes the sixth of our Cannabis Cup 2009 broadcasts celebrating of the Fifth Anniversary of the John Sinclair Radio Show since we launched this project at Coffeeshop Amnesia on November 22, 2004. Bill Barth, a guitarist, blues scholar and hashish entrepreneur from Memphis who spent his last 25 years as a resident of Amsterdam, first played music with me at the Cannabis Cup in 1999 and the following year we inaugurated the 420 Thanksgiving concert and continued until Bill’s untimely demise a couple of years later. The show starts with a brisk set by Kenny Post, followed by an impromptu appearance by Los Marijuanos and a closing set by guitarist Mark Ritsema & myself. Happy Thanksgiving!
