Profile Information
- About Me:
- Born in 1947 to Emmett and Maydee Lindsey of Austin, Texas, a product of the era of Jim Crow and Civil Rights...it's been an incredible experience to live on both sides of the American historical scene. A graduate of Fisk University of Nashville, Tennessee, in 1969. Witnessing the assanitation of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr was once of my most awsome life rememberances. I am one of the fortunate ones and talented 10th that has come forth from a mighty time in life. I love my life and have no regrets. It is now my privelege and responsibility to write our stories,part of the undocumented American landscape( at least not in textbooks yet) and, especially the stories of the Texas "Chitlin' Circuit". I am the last generation to know the stories and know where to find the stories from aome of the great bluesman like my friend, "Spot" Barnett who hails a resume from Ike and Tina Turner band, to Bobby Blue Bland , and many many more. Now at age 73, one of the few living bluesmen who traveled the entire circuit and has documented his travels, "Spot" was honoered by the Austin Music Hall and place in the Music Hall of fame during SXSW of 2008. I may not know all, but I know enough to write and be the keeper of the history as a native and 4th generation Austinite. . Texas has a hugh contribution to Blues and Jazz in America, but even greater, we honor the sound that we as decendencts of Africa have brought forth to create the uniquie American music sound and scene of Blues and Jazz.. I feel fortunate to know the Book of Lamentations in the Bible, realizing it's importance..recognizing that to lament means to be "blue"...Jeremiah sang of opression..."the blues".What a wonderful understanding of how we have come this far by faith. Born into the AME Church, reared by a jazz musician, and and aunt who played the blues every Friday and Saturday night with friends (along with IW Harper) and sang gospel every Sunday (often with me as her pianist or organist) is my legacy along with my father as Sunday School Superintendent for most of my life...I as the Sunday Scchool musician, Church organizt and student of one of America's most prestigious Universities am blessed. Now , at at the age of 60, it is my honor to give back. Please visit www.historicvictorygrill.org to view 12 years of my work. That's what I have been doing, along with enjoying my mom, my wonderful sister ( in photo), 2 daughters, a son, 6 grandchildren, my family and community. My newest family and partner in the world Mr. Jamie Van Beek is my greatest cheerleader. Blest be the tie that binds us in Christian love is all I can say. My early learning...be of good courage and fly on the wings of the dove has actualized in m life. Thanks to the many that believed in me, especially the late L.C. Anderson High School Band Director and Counselor St. Edwards University, A.O Patterson, my mentor, Dr. Melvin Sikes, Professor Emreitus, University of Texas Department of Educational Psychology, and the late Hazel Marie Falke-Obey, my best friend in life.

Here is my wish for the very best to you and all my LiveBluesWorld friends as we take the music of our heritage into 2009 and the 21st century.
It's an honor to be on this journey with you. ..and a pleasure to be your friend. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the community.
..."true greats" ...are not those born with "golden spoons" in their mouths. ...but those who through "hard work" turn their own "wooden spoons" into "gold".
"...the re-emergence of blues music as serious social commentary."

mooreasys said… - Mrs. Eva has offered so much of her self to the live music community of Austin Texas. Her effort to restore THE HISTORIC VICTORY GRILL has shown her ability to stay for the long play and close the game. I thank god for this opportunity to get to know her as a person not just an icon. Thank you, Mrs. Eva for sharing your life time commitment with me. I love you queen.
