Clifton Chenier footage? I got the Arhoolie dvd "King of Zydeco" and there's some powerful stuff on there but not much telling how the King and Chris got hooked up. Also, if they got Mance Lipscomb or Lightning Hopkins footage? Chris Strachwitz is King of All Things Vernacular and probably anything that they come up with for a film will be a good thing. His work is very important, but he never got the press that Lomax did, and I think he is a much more honorable sort of man than Lomax was in his dealings with the artists that he found playing picnics, jukes, dancehalls and so on. Brave bastard too, to be a white guy running around rural Mississippi recording sharecroppers in the very early 1960's! Tweed
