Deborah J Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Sam, very nice, thanks for posting this. I always enjoy the interviews. Robert's right, this should have been done a long time ago. Happy Thanksgiving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Sam, I echo the sentiments of Deborah J. Much thanks for posting this. How long ago did this interview take place? I find it fascinating that Robert Plant has made as many pilgrimages to this area of Mississippi to "reconnect" as he put it. Loved the line, "Saturday night belonged to the devil. Sunday you went to church." Eloquent as always, Plant can say more in four minutes than most say forty minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Jabe - I believe this took place this week. Many thanks for posting this Sam!

It's always a treat to hear Robert talk about the musicians that had such a profound effect on him. I was guessing this week as well. Then on to Nashville?

PlanetPage Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 .......Robert Plant is deeply appreciative of each and every artist that influenced his life and music ....very captivating here, as always...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Wish I'd known he was in the Delta this week. *sniff* Thanks, Sam! Robert is a big supporter of the Delta Blues Museum, where he's held in great esteem. Another place was added to the Mississippi Blues Trail this week too, this one actually across the river in Louisiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 That was a great interview. Plant's as well spoken as he is passionate about paying tribute to his musical muses. "Do you have a card?" Wish I'd known he was in the Delta this week. *sniff* Thanks, Sam! Robert is a big supporter of the Delta Blues Museum, where he's held in great esteem. Another place was added to the Mississippi Blues Trail this week too, this one actually across the river in Louisiana. Is there a link you could provide about this, Aqua? It would be cool to get some more info about this, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrycja Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 ^ Much obliged, PlanetPage. I meant news specifically about that location Aqua mentioned, but perhaps that's already on the sites you provided. Didn't notice it though I've only time just now for a cursory look. Will look into it more later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) Sorry, Patrycja, I don't think the additional place has been added to the web sites yet--I knew about it because it was in the local paper, just last week, I think. (Because it was a Louisiana site.) I can't remember the name of the place offhand , but it's directly across the river from Natchez. I'll see if it's still on the local paper's web site. Later--Ferriday! That's the name of the place (I've driven through it enough times ). Here's the info: Ferriday added to Blues Trail Edited November 27, 2009 by Aquamarine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evster2012 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Loved the line, "Saturday night belonged to the devil. Sunday you went to church." Eloquent as always, Plant can say more in four minutes than most say forty minutes. Goodfellas: "Saturday night was for wives, but Friday night at the Copa was always for the girlfriends" Not implying any direct connection, but director Martin Scorsese could have paraphrased the old bluesmans' expression, as he clearly has great taste in rock and roll.

Aquamarine Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 You're welcome! (Bet you were surprised to learn that Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong were blues legends, though. That's the local paper for you. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Welll I wasn't going to say anything (you know, those pesky gift horses) but... yeah that was a pretty generous stretch of 'facts'.

eternal light Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Mississippi Blues Trail Marker dedication honoring W.C. Handy and thetown of Tutwiler. Robert Plant talks about how the blues of Sonny BoyWilliamson affected his life and career. www.robertplant.com/news/mississippi-blues-trail-marker-dedication-honoring-wc-handy-rp-interview/?spid=1 I saw James Cotton perform a couple of years after Sonny Boy Williamson died. I can still remember listening to 24 Hours as if it were yesterday. It sounded like a freight train had hit someone. But I guess he missed his friend a lot.

Aquamarine Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Could you also add one to the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Sam? Robert's done a lot for them, and is highly regarded there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 He did make so much of his living from this heritage, I would expect him to value it. That is only logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
