Ted was the founder of the San Jose Fountain Blues Festival, the longest running blues festival in the SF Bay Area. Ted was a good friend, and a big advocate of the LOUIE documentary project.

He released an album ‘Black Diamond Street’, and then had a 2nd album […] It was just another Friday night in Santa Cruz, California. My friend Star La’Moan and her Kitchenettes were playing at the Poet & Patriot, and my friend Stretch was also there. As you may recall, Stretch Riedle was the DJ at KFJC Radio whose LOUIE LOUIE shows inspired the big Maximum LOUIE LOUIE marathon […] Today, in celebration of International LOUIE LOUIE Day, we’re sharing a very special recording of LOUIE LOUIE by Jim Phelps & the Clandestones that had a special world premiere at the 1984 LOUIE marathon that took place at KALX Radio in Berkeley, California. Last year, I was fortunate to receive some of the […] |
