It made my day to see that @dusttodigital shared this clip of Odell Thompson in honor of his birthday- he needs to be celebrated more!!! Odell Thompson and his cousin Joe Thompson were some of the last direct purveyors of Black String Band traditions out of the North Carolina Piedmont. They spent the latter part of their lives sharing those traditions with the world through performance and mentorship. In this clip, they're playing one of their standard tunes "Georgia Buck." -- I've shared before about both Odell and Joe's lives and how revered they are in our community of musicians in Mebane, NC, and abroad- so I thought this time I'd share my favorite quotes from Odell instead (from and interview with Joe and Odell conducted and transcribed by his cousin, Iris Chapman.) For context, Odell learned to play fiddle as a very young child and played for dances in Mebane with his father in the 1920's. As young man he took up blues guitar instead but started playing the music of his youth again in the 1970's, this time on banjo. In an interview with their cousin, when asked what was valuable about the music they played, Joe responded- "It's the roots of music-- the roots of all music." Odell then interjected- "That's right, and-- I don't know how to name it-- it just makes you feel so good. All that kind of stuff... I played the guitar-- give me the blues and I didn't want to play. I just got all down and out and wanted to do everything but the right thing. But I can play that there [banjo] and get up and feel good over it, see. I don't know how to name it." During the same interview when asked where their tunes and style of playing came from- and if they were from white traditions- he asserted "All of this is Black. All of this is Black.", my second favorite quote because it was so affirming for me. Thank you, thank you Odell, for the unnameable treasure you left behind in your music!
