Charlie Parr plays The Old Guitar
Фильм және анимация
Charlie Parr plays a Bukka White tune called "Fixin' To Die" on The Old Guitar.
We were sitting with Charlie inside Café Nine in New Haven; alone except for the bartender prepping for the evening ahead.
It was fairly early in the afternoon, and Café Nine just has a couple windows, so there were a few sunlit spots in the room. Charlie pulled up a chair to one of these lighter areas right in front of the bar’s old cigarette machine, produced a metal slide from his pocket and strummed a couple chords on The Old Guitar while we got the cameras in place. We started recording, and he tore into a downright haunting rendition of bluesman Bukka White’s “Fixin’ to Die”.
For those five minutes, Charlie took us back to the 1930’s, sitting on a sharecropper’s front porch deep in cotton country. Or maybe it was a living room in the dead of Winter in his native Minnesota, I really couldn’t tell. But Charlie’s music took us somewhere else.

Many thanks Charlie. This one's a fav but needed an extra CP fix today. Peace.
Charlie always takes you where you want to be.
Luv It!
This is probably the only footage you’ll ever see of Charlie playing a 6 string acoustic. He only plays 6 strings on his resonators and all his acoustics are 12 string. Super mellow sound. Folks might not realize what a gem this is

eric jessen There’s other footage. He played a show with Spider John Koerner a few years ago and he was playing a Sovereign 6 string acoustic guitar. There’s footage from that show floating around on KZread.
This is great!
A gem.
Charlie takes you places. He has a degree in philosophy, so he is a storytelling philosopher that uses wonderful music to make his point.

Looks like an American Kay parlour guitar from 50s or 60s.
