On  February 4, 5, and 6, 2011 there was a benefit  for the _Arhoolie  
Foundation_ (ht

celebrating the 50th  anniversary of Arhoolie Records. Three joyous  days of 
concerts and panel discussions were held  in Berkeley, California at the 
Freight and  Salvage to honor Chris Strachwitz  and Arhoolie’s 50 years of 
documenting and  preserving traditional music. There was even the  first New 
Orleans-style brass band parade  through the streets of Berkeley with the Treme  
Brass Band and a second line. The concerts were  hosted by American  Routes 
radio host Nick Spitzer and  featured:



Santiago  Jimenez Jr.

Los  Cenzontles
Ry  Cooder
Any  Old Time String Band
David  Doucet
Peter  Rowan
Laurie  Lewis and the Right  Hands

Barbara  Dane and Bob Mielke's Jazz All  Stars

The  events were recorded by Fantasy  Studios and the Bay Area’s premier  
concert photographer Mike  Melnyk captured the performances and  backstage 
activities. This limited edition book  and CD set is filled with passionate 
music,  stunning full color photos and remembrances.  Chris Strachwitz with 
Adam Machado, writes about  each band, and then each band comments about  
Chris, Arhoolie Records, and traditional music.  If you were at the event, 
you'll want this as a  lasting memory. If you weren't, get it to share  the 
experience.

"It  was a weekend of earthy, honest, gutsy music and  fun celebrating 
fifty years of good ol’ Arhoolie  Records! I had no idea that all these years  
after releasing the first Arhoolie LP in 1960,  Mance Lipscomb: Texas 
Sharecropper and Songster,  I would still be on this planet, outliving many  of the 
fascinating and unique musical legends I  had the pleasure of meeting and 
recording. This  book brings to life in sounds, stories, and  pictures those 
three days of celebration in  February 2011 at the Freight & Salvage  
Coffeehouse in Berkeley, CA. I was delighted and  surprised by how many friends 
and musicians were  willing to contribute their talents freely to  this 
extravaganza, even though some had never  even recorded for Arhoolie! Photographer 
Mike  Melnyk was on hand capturing the various sights,  and Fantasy Studios 
captured the sounds. I hope  this resulting book with four CDs will spread  
joy into your ears and  eyes." 
—  Chris Strachwitz


"Strachwitz  had this fabulous approach with people: he would  just walk 
right in with his big smile and this  openhearted manner that he has. Nobody 
turned  him down, nobody was doubtful, they just  accepted him. After he 
became known and on  friendly terms with a lot of the players down  there [South 
Texas], he got to be known as El  Fanatico, who wanted to hear every song, 
know  every story, bought every record he could get  his hands on, and he 
never  stopped."
—  Ry Cooder


"This  young guy from Navasota, TX going to school with  me came in one day 
and was oh, just so excited  by the record he had in his hand...it was 
Chris'  first Arhoolie record, Mance Lipscomb:  Texas Sharecropper & Songster. I 
have to  tell you, that's when it started for  me."
—  Taj Mahal


"The  most amazing thing about [Chris] is he's  tireless and he knows 
exactly what he wants. The  more primitive you sound the better it is for  him. 
It's very interesting, because I don't  think everyone approaches music or 
life that  way."
—  David Doucet


"I'm  delighted to be included in Arhoolie's 50th  Anniversary recording. 
It's an honor to be a  part of that. I've grown more and more to  appreciate 
what Chris has done to save so much  music from oblivion and to expand the 
horizons  for a lot of roots music. He has made such a  huge effort to 
support the music locally and  everywhere hither, thither, and yon. He just  seems 
to be one of those ebullient people. Gets  very very very excited about 
what he likes. He's  a bear of a man. But he's not just one thing  only: he 
perseveres, he's continuing on. Viva la  musica!"
—  Peter Rowan


"Don't  tell me they don't make music like this anymore.  They sure damn 
do!"
—  Barbara Dane


"If  it hadn't been for Arhoolie, I don't know where  I would be at 
today...Everything that I love  Chris has supported, everything I love Chris has  
cultivated it, and everything that I love Chris  has helped bring out in me. 
There should be a  'Chris Strachwitz Day' that the whole world  would 
celebrate."
—  Marc Savoy
