[78-L] Fwd: A Slide "Guitar Rag" to Make Your Season Bright: Joe Bussard's holiday greeting

[Bill McClung]

I'm forwarding an email from The 78 Project.  It's Joe Bussard making a 78
and wishing all a merry holiday.  This project is very exciting to me
because they go into the field to make 78 recordings.  Happy Holidays,
everyone!

*You'll pass the Barbara Fritchee on the right hand side.  You can't miss
it, because of the candy cane. * These directions, given over the phone
with a gleeful chuckle, began to make perfect sense as we turned a corner
off the interstate in Frederick, Maryland and were greeted with a lovely
little hometown diner dressed up for the holidays with a 20 foot candy cane
out front.

After winding and dipping around corners and down hills, we arrived at *Joe
Bussard*<http://the78project.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f332ab1dd2165e14e215a0d39&id=c6accfe9dd&e=2cc38d0341>'s
home, greeted by a wood-burning stove, his napping, contented cats, and the
man himself. *Time's a-wastin'!* There's so much to hear!

At the end of a few hours of listening to more rare, beautiful records than
we can properly recount, Joe acquiesced to our request of him to record a
holiday greeting on his slide guitar.  In front of the mic, he turned on
like a light on a dark winter night.  A Presto recordist himself, Joe knew
the drill.  Or the screwdriver, as it were.

May your holidays be the happiest on record!  Thank you for watching,
listening and supporting us during this wonderful year!  Our warmest wishes
to you for another beautiful year to come.

*The 78 Project* is a documentary and recording journey inspired by Alan
Lomax and his quest to capture music where it lived throughout the early
20th century.  Our project brings the spirit of his work into the present
as we pair breakthrough musicians with the songs and the fascinating
recording technology of the past.  With just one microphone, one authentic
1930′s PRESTO direct-to-disc recorder, and one blank lacquer disk  we are
giving these musicians the opportunity to make a recording anywhere they
choose. What we have found is that the film, music and feelings that result
defy space and time, living music inspired by ghosts.
