A stop action film of the planting of an heirloom cuban mango cultivar, "Prieto", in Hollywood, Florida, 7/13/06, with "Outside Woman Blues" by Blind Joe Reynolds as an accompaniment. It was damned hot, and the humidity was ~99%.

  • I videotaped it, then reduced the number of frames in the file until it looked like this.

  • Damn. Mine has gone through a disease during which all the leaves had withered away ...hopefully it's sprouting new nowadays. Is there any way to prevent it from such 'episodes' ?

    //None of used fertilizers worked :(

  • Depends on where you live, maybe it got too cold? Try a different cultivar, as mangoes have been in cultivation so long there a thousand varieties, some more suited to one region than another. This one I'm planting now is a "Prieto", a Cuban culivar. I'll have to post a follow-up so the growth can be documented.

    I'll have to look for those other Blind Joe Reynolds tunes. He sure is great.

  • This song's awesome.. I been trying to find some others but had no luck.

    Random video lol.. But I love it.

    This song really is that good.

    Nice video.

  • I think it's his solitary recorded contribution to history...oh what a song!

  • It's about five feet tall now, out in the rain, maybe we'll get some fruit next year. Blind Joe Reynolds is coming by later for a drink.

see all

  • Please tell me someone else was working the camera while you did this. If not, i'm suprised you're alive.

  • great choice in music

  • mango.

  • blind joe/willie reynolds was one of the greatest bluesmen who never got to record enough !

  • Mike, I Love This One ! Haha... Both the video and the acc. 5* !

    Outside Woman Blues was recorded Nov 1929, Grafton Wisconsin, Pm 12927, Paramount Label and also for Broadway Records, Bwy 5106, same date.

    The other side was/is Nehi Blues.

    Sorry I don't have it !

    Blind Joe and Blind Willie Reynolds might be the same man, but the evidence is not conclusive. You recognize the problem, Mike !?

    Peace !

  • Blind Joe (Willie) Reynolds recorded in 1929 and again in 1930. Only four tracks: Outside Woman Blues, Nehi Blues, Married Man Blues, and Third Street Woman Blues. They are all available on Document CD DOCD-5002.

    Thanks for posting this track. It is absolutely superb.
