The earliest published record.  And of course, if you do a little digging and exploring you will find that Ma Rainey and the earliest blues musicians were already performing in la villa in 1902, right after the Great Fire.

La Villa was one of the cradles of 20th century african american music.  And several other art forms.  For example the first truly multi media performance was in La Villa.  It combined early projected film, music and theatre performances.

Which is why we carpet bombed the shit out of it! ...and Sugar Hill! ...and Florida Avenue! ...and LaVilla! Be forewarned Arlington and Lake Forest, they're coming for you next.  How did I miss this?

Now we're going to put a stand alone, single carrier (our largest intercity surface carrier BTW) right in the middle of an 8 block moonscape. We'll call it a 'component' of our 'Regional Transportation Center' 3 city blocks away, but don't worry, putting the intercity coaches in the middle of the field will forever kill any possible revival of LaVilla. Gotta keep them 'horrible darkies' under control! MORE BULL SHIT-DIFFERENT DAY.

I was just going through this old thread that came across Sheclown's "What is Southern Rock?"

She Dat Pretty - Steven Seagal and his band THUNDERBOX. This one's for you Gloria.

"It is male, blue-collar poetry, singing songs of loss and struggle. 

The words are simple, straightforward, the emotional weight carried by the non-verbal guitar which can whine and cry without damaging any tough southern man's ego.

And it is as distinctively regional as Southern Literature.  In this age of cultural consolidation, where every town has a Walmart and cookie cutter subdivisions, Southern Rock gives us something other locations can only dream of...a sense of home.

Teaming with life, with its dirty dishes and meatloaf in the oven, this is Southern Rock. 

This is Jacksonville."

I couldn't agree more. I was laughing at the various posters trying to shoot down my suggestion of CCR, ZZ Top, Bloodrock, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Jannis, etc. as Southern Rockers.

You can do so if you can tell me how blue is blue? What is pink? Is orange yellow or is yellow orange? WTF? In art, all of your fences fall and the colors blend. Sure we have 'definitions' but what one defines in his reviews might not be what another defines - it's all perception.

I am arguing for the benefit of inclusion and casting a much broader net for grants and promotions, simply draw a line around old Dixie (which included Maryland, Kentucky, NORTHERN Missouri and Oklahoma) and call it done. Within this territory you will generally find either the birthplace of the artists or the influences that made them who they are.

Where did 'Swamp Music' come from? Rockabilly? Zydeco? Rock? Southern Rock? Blues? Jazz? Arkansack? How about 'THE SOUTH' a virtual smorgasbord of music styles, serve yourself, bring a clean plate. Next question, which large southern city has the most 'Southern Rock' history? WE DO! How southern is it? How blue is blue? What is pink? Is orange yellow or is yellow orange? INCLUSION WILL GET US WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

Happy Birthday Allen Collins!
