A little about the video below...We were performing at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, AR, in 2001. While performing, A French Film Company was shooting a documentary on Robert Johnson and the Crossroads legend. They were focusing on the lost 30th song and what it would be like to find that last song and play it at the crossroads for the redemption of Johnson's soul. Oreo Blue was a featured performer for the documentary. We still have yet to see its release, but they forwarded the raw footage to us. Very cool and some solid performances by the band that day. Gary shows why he is one of the best in the business during the brief clip...

While we are on the subject of videos, some of our fanbase has started to submit some. Here is a brief clip from a buddy from Hogville whose moniker is RedRiverHog. This is from the BBBBQ Festival in 2006. It was a little hard to tell at first, but the clip is during the solo by guest keyboardist, TJ Erhardt from the Nace Brothers Band on the song, Changes by Buddy Miles (Band of Gypsies)

Hello Stephen! It's been a long time. How have you been?
I want to let you know, I will be attending the BB&B later this month, and would love to shoot the band! With a camera, that is, LOL. I would be honored to have the opportunity.
I recently started doing event photography and I now have a proofing website - very much in it's infancy, with a small sampling of my work at this time. I'll be adding more galleries soon - it just all takes time. =)
Several galleries are up; My first motorcycle rally and band, and a few lake action photos I did over the summer @ Tenkiller.
I am enjoying covering the events. I hope to see you guys soon!! I'm getting excited! =D Please check out the site and let me know. Leave a comment in the guest book, Email or post to my myspace anytime.
