In what may very well be the oldest photo we have from the Main Point, this shot of Son House was taken by Dr. John Rudoff when Son House performed there in February of 1965…
The Main Point was a godsend for performers and audiences. Besides the ones early in their careers (Ry Cooder, the Persuasions, Good News), some veterans found their way there (Josh White, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, John Fahey). I can only regret the shows I didn’t manage to see (way too many).
