FW: [Dixielandjazz] Blues Over Bodega

[Bill Gunter]

Hi Jim,

Bodega Bay, a small inlet north of San Francisco lying directly on the San 
Andreas earthquake fault line. I'm pretty sure the name of the place is 
derived from some connection with your understanding of the Spanish word 
"bodega."

You probably know the story that, as an environmentalist, Watters was 
protesting the construction of a nuclear power plant near Bodega Bay because 
of its proximity to the earthquake fault. He (and his band along with 
vocalist Barbara Dane) joined a group gathering to protest this 
construction. Lu had even composed a tune or two just for the occasion. The 
energetic "San Andreas Shake" is one such tune.  The band performed at the 
rally and it was recorded and then released as "Blues Over Bodega."

Good stuff on the recording and a decent sound track was produced. I'm not 
surprised that re-released CD version has become available.  I'd like a copy 
meself!

Cheers,

Bill "Watters fan" Gunter
