From Michael Erlewine:\nThere were several rock photographers in Ann Arbor, and they all did great work. Al Blixt, Andy Sacks, and Tom Copi come to mind. I salute them.\n\nBut when it comes to blues photography, there is only one name that springs to mind and that is Stanley Livingston!\n\nStan covered the 1969 and 1970 Ann Arbor Blues Festivals and more, the first large electric blues festivals in America AND the first time blues musicians ever got together with one another is such numbers.\n\nI remember this well because I was lucky enough to be there interviewing all the artists and (much more important) my brother Dan and I were in charge of serving the artists food and.... drinks! It was a wild time. Just try getting a full bottle of whiskey away from Howlin\' Wolf. It can\'t be done!\n\nAnyway, during those first two festivals, Stan Livingston was catching it all forever on film. He has something like 9,000 photographs of some of the greatest blues artists that ever lived. Livingston has been kind enough to allow us to show you a few of these classic photos. The rest will be found in his forthcoming book \"Blues in Black White: The Landmark Ann Arbor Blues Festivals.\" I am thrilled to be writing the text.\nI hope that you will enjoy the incredible blues photography of Stanley Livingston. A book of Stanley Livingston\'s blues photos, \"Blues in Black White: The Landmark Ann Arbor Blues Festivals\" is in the works. I am lucky enough to be writing the text and providing interviews I did years ago with the blues artists.

It lasted about seven years. Most of the band members all lived in a house at 114 N. Division Street, appropriately called the \"Prime Mover House.\" It still stands today, owned by the University of Michigan.\n\nThe main band members included:\n\nMichael Erlewine\nlead singer, harmonica\n\nDaniel Erlewine\nlead guitar\n\nRobert Sheff (keyboards)\nAKA Blue \'Gene\' Tyranny\n\nJack Dawson (bass)\n\nJames Osterberg (drums)\nAKA \"Iggy Pop\"\nOr\nJ.C. \"Jesse\" Crawford (drums)\n\nThis video produced and edited at Heart Center Studios in Big Rapids, Michigan by Michael Erlewine.\n\nThose interested in being notified when the Prime Movers album is released can send an email to \n\nMichael@Erlewine.net.\n\n© Copyright\n Heart Center Studios 2008\n\nAnalog to Digital Transfer by \nwww.FilmTransfer.com
