Phil Mac Made it to Mississippi!

Woooohooooo! Phil has joined Carla and Adrian, visiting them in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

He arrived just in time to attend the Juke Joint Festival in April, when Clarksdale's streets and buildings filled with music and thousands of folks came to the home of the famous crossroads -- highways 49 and 61 -- to hear and play the blues.

It's hard to have the blues when we're having fun! It's good to have the original Table Hill trio together in the Mississippi Delta.

Dust My Broom!

Table Hill has made the list!

For many years, versions of the blues song, "Dust My Broom," have been collected and listed by Jacob Dyrsting from Denmark and Henk Maaskant from the Netherlands.

A few years ago, Table Hill played Dust My Broom at the Radio Springs Hotel. Mention of the performances has been included in this amazing collection! In honour of that honour, the Table Hill band blog now provides links to two of Carla's recordings of Table Hill's performances of Dust My Broom, as played at the Radio Springs Hotel in Lyonville, Victoria, Australia. (See below in this post and links in the upper righthand corner of this webpage.)

The collectors have organised and categorised the many (over 1,600) versions of the song and shared their list via: www.DustMyBroom.nl.

Table Hill and Friends

Table Hill with Ken Parfrey, February 2016
Adrian, Carla, and Phil have been enjoying good times and great music with dear friends and family, whilst they have been in Australia this summer.

Recently, Ken Parfrey, one of the proprietors of the Radio Springs Hotel, joined the band with his slide guitar. Ken, added to the mix, makes Table Hill's Memphis-Missississippi Delta-Melbourne sound deeper and richer! Have a listen to Carla's recordings (Ken shines on "Buckets of Rain"), shared via SoundCloud.com, and enjoy the real-life music made at the Centre of the Universe: Radio Springs Hotel in Lyonville, Victoria. We think you'll like it and hope you'll share it.




Table Hill also had a celebrity guest join the band for Thai Night at the Radio Springs Hotel last Thursday! Adrian's brother, Kevin, came in from Melbourne and added another yummy guitar flavour to a lovely evening! (Carla will share those recordings, as soon as the battery crisis has been corrected on her little digital recorder.)
