Welcome to the Lockdown Lowdown, my new series of Video Interviews. Volume One - Blackberry Smoke's CHARLIE STARR is live now. Please welcome Charlie and thank you for batting lead off!
I am still ironing out technical problems, but feel good about this start. Duane Betts will be next.
Nice, I love Charlie, he's a creative musical dynamo. I look forward to the Duane Betts upcomer. Your BBS interview at the Cutting Room was nice. I'm hoping the Spirit of The South tour still happens w/the Allman Betts Band. I follow on facebook but soooo many things posted and not enough patience to weed through it all I appreciate you posting, I'll make sure to catch these, I'd love to see some guitars break out with a rare musical moment captured. Thanx Brother.
Just watched a video with Charlie sharing a number of thoughts, his playing influenced by a lot of peeps I never would have imagined. Joe Perry, AC DC and Mick & Keith. ..He was playing a '57 Les Paul and was squeezing out some of Duane's tone and feel..... He has quite a set of riffs in his toolbox, I for one am impressed...
Thank you Alan. I'm a fan and enjoyed this one and look forward to many more
Thanks guys.
This is an experiment. If you like, please share. Very happy to start this series with Charlie and to have duane next up. Want to get some good numbers, which will help me bring others in.
Interviewed Duane Betts yesterday and will have it up in the next few days.
I have a bunch of these lined up and they will be great... but my A/V setup and skills suck. Trying to make them look and sound better, but it's coming along.
I think a Doug Gray interview and his recollections about the old days at Capricorn would be sweet..
Doug would be cool. I don't know him. Could surely find him with a few phone calls. started this with people in my contacts list, but will keep going if it gets some traction. I could use some A/V assistance though.
DICKEY. JAIMOE.

Thanks Al!..It would be cool, some history on the MTB and Toy.....
Great interview with Charlie Starr!! Saw Blackberry Smoke on last year's Southern Rock Cruise, and they did indeed Smoke onstage!!! Met Charlie briefly as well. Real nice guy!!
