Mississippi Fred McDowell - BLUES MAKER (1969) pt.1

While surfing around I ran into a pearl, this documentary about Mississippi Fred McDowell directed by Christian Garrison for The University of Mississippi

I'm not certain I did the right thing: embedding the video gave a terribly slow buffering and the video was impossible to see, so I downloaded it and uploaded it again on YouTube. There shouldn't be any problems though, videos on THE INTERNET ARCHIVE ( http://www.archive.org/details/blues_maker_1969 ) were i took it from are usually public domain and free to download.

This is part 1 out of 2

This is great. Probably one of the earlier videos taken from the Delta of its musicians.

@raw1335: Not really, as far as I know there are some reels from the '30s existing, but not online. But for what TV is concerned, I think you're right.
