I promised a fellow board member on Blindman's Blues Forum I would help spread the word on this project. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Last night I had Tom Keener and Michael Maher from the Allen Public Library on my KNON Texas Blues Radio program. They are currently working on the first ever documentary on Texas blues legend FREDDIE KING and they need your input. They're looking for original photos, posters, and stories from folks who knew, played with, or attended live concerts by Freddie King. They're especially looking for folks who were at the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival in Lewisville, any other major festivals, or even small club dates. Any and all original remembrances of Freddie King are welcome. The family of Freddie King and the Freddie King estate are participating in the project. If you can't help, maybe you know someone who can? For info contact: Tom Keener at: 214-509-4911 or tkeener@cityofallen.org
They have already interviewed Freddie's daughter (and executor of the estate) Wanda King, his brother Benny Turner, and many of Freddie's old band members. They are looking for release sometime in February of 2015.
Please help spread this far and wide as they are looking for as much input as they can get. I've seen some of the interviews they have already done and it is a first rate project.
