How do you keep blue jeans from shrinking?
It depends on whether they're regular non-stretch jeans, or if the jeans have lycra/spandex/any kind of stretch in them.
To keep non-stretch jeans from shrinking, wash them in warm or cold water and always hang them out to dry. This is a good idea for all the clothes you have that you don't want to shrink (or fade!). If you wear jeans with some stretch in them, you can wash them in warm or cold water too. If you've noticed the stretch jeans are getting really baggy/loose at the end of the day, you could put them in the dryer on a LOW cycle, and take them out while they're a tiny bit damp. This will tighten them up, but not significantly shrink them. Otherwise, your best bet is to hang them out, every time!
One other tip: When you take your jeans out of the dryer, and before you hang them up, pull and tug and yank on them in whichever direction you don't want them to shrink. Every little bit helps!
Don't wash them in hot or even warm water, and DO Not Put them in the dryer.

Who owns usage for johnny 'guitar' Watson?
The rights on Watson's material - the publicity - is in the hands of his three childen. They inherited their father's company Virjon, LLC. In the beginning of the nineties, Johnny "Guitar" Watson went to Frank Zappa for advice on how to buy back his own music from the record companies (as Zappa had done before). Watson repurchased all his music from 1976 on. "I own my own music!", he told me.
It would have been a hell of a job to buy back older recordings, while Watson worked with tens of companies in the years before he started with DJM in 1976.
His daughter Virginia controls the musical legacy and licensed it to Shout! Factory. This record company re-released all albums from 1976 on, adding unreleased songs. While Virginia Watson and Shout! Factory did a good job, they could have done more. At least five master tapes - unfinished when John died - are hidden by well known people. Fourteen years after his death the tapes should have been recovered and published.

Ann Arbor Blues Festival recordings or video -- were 1969 and 1970 issued?
I was at the 1970 Festival. It was broadcast on national public radio, so look for air checks. WARNER BROTHERS recorded the festival but had never issued it last time I researched it. Not sure if they recorded the between-sets jam between Luther Allison and Johnny Winter. That would be great! Can we start a campaign to get WB to issue the whole fest? Why not? Everything else gets issued!
