Vassar Clements & His Holiday Band - DVD
Before Clements passed in August 2005, he had expressed his wish to preserve this live performance on DVD. "I know we're gonna put some of this on the [Nuci] CD, but let's not let the rest of it go. How 'bout we put it on a 'movie cd'!"
"The December show recording was to add songs for a compilation CD we had been putting together to benefit Nuci's Space," says Farley Daniel, producer and longtime friend of Clements'. "Everything fell into place after Vassar agreed to do it. At the last minute, I asked a friend to film it. Little did we realize then, the significance this show would have in the long run." She further says, "Vassar was really pleased to help Nuci's Space. After his tour of the facility with Linda Phillips, the founder, he told me, "This is wonderful what they're doing here. They should have these all over the place!"
Information about Nuci's Space
RECORDED AT SENEY-STOVALL CHAPEL, Athens, Georgia December 18, 2004. This performance was an amazing event; filled to the brim with spontaneous jams, trash can solos, and will not soon be forgotten by those attending. Vassar spent the last month of his working life, giving his gift of music to help friends and strangers alike. We were all blessed to be a part of his ling and generous life.
