I posted this yesterday thinking it was the 5th. @Lee Newman quickly pointed out that I'm a damn fool so it was deleted accordingly. Now that yesterday is actually today......it's back...
Day 5 - $5 Ford
{Twofer} On this day in 1914 Henry Ford introduced $5 per day wages to all his Ford Workers. Play a record you picked up for $5 OR play something featuring somebody named Ford.
Here's a record by T-Model Ford. I didn't pay $5 for this record but I've bought a few $5 drinks for T-Model. I reckon that's a fair tradeoff.
I met T-Model later in his career (he didn't start playing til he was 58) and we hit it off. He'd let me record his shows when he came thru town and I'd buy him drinks and hang on every word he said. He was a blast - funny, kind, humble, genuine.
T-Model played his last show 9 months before he checked out - a true bluesman til the end. His birth dates are sketchy, but it appears he was somewhere between 90 and 94 years old when he headed home.
T-Model never learned to read or write, and that makes this signed handbill one of my most treasured musical possessions. Watching T-Model sign his name was borderline excruciating. Think of it this way - you're asked to draw a picture of a rooster. You'd do it very deliberately, methodically, pulling the image of a rooster from your memory and translating that to paper. That's how T-Model signed his name, - he was thinking about what his name looked like and drew a picture.
Damn, I miss that guy...
T-Model Ford - Pee-Wee Get My Gun
T-Model is featured in this outstanding documentary along with RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and Cedell Davis. They're all gone. Their bad-ass music will live forever. The movie kicks off with T-Model firing up his amp in his overgrown yard full of various junk, sitting down on top of an old console TV set and hitting the note.
I can't recommend this film enough...

Day 5
F words
Marc Ford was the lead guitarist for this band that is currently on hiatus because The Black Crowes got together again (meaning the Robinson brothers - not any of their former band mates)
The Magpie Salute - High Water I

The Old 97’s - Drag It Up
Per the opening track, “Won’t Be Home” Rhett Miller was; “Born in the back seat of a Mustang on a cold night in the pouring rain”
Also, while not $5 but still a stellar deal. I just picked this up over my holiday break from my local for $18.99. Discogs currently has the median price listed at $65. Looks like it was much cheaper back when they originally priced back in 2018.

I can't believe I have to spin this abomination of a record. But it fits the prompt the best out of anything I have. Median price is $4.50 on discogs, and Martyn Ford was a "Music Contractor" on it. Whatever that is. At least I have George Burns singing "When I'm 64" to look forward to. And Steve Martin butchering Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
If anyone wants to pay $5 for this, make me an offer...

Day 5 - $5 Ford
About a decade ago, I picked up this OG at Half Price Books for $5 (still has the price tag!). It’s probably a VG/VG, but the music overpowers any noise and it still sounds great. Looks like you need at least $75 these days for even a copy in this condition.

Great score! And fun timing - I was streaming this quite a bit at work this weekend - I feel like I was falling in love with it again for the first time, on a whole different level than I'd previously enjoyed it.

Not my favorite of theirs, but a good $5 score off discogs a couple years ago.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band "That's It!" (2013 Legacy)
Free is less than $5. This was a PIF from my good friend @Potato-Socks. Great pressing too, cut by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI.

Cornership - In the Days of the Ford Cortina
Probably purchased for 4.99 back in the day. The first Cornershop 7in. Other than the title, there is no song about the Ford Cortina, but there is an ode to a Kawasaki motorbike. They carried the motor transportation motif to their next release with “Summer Fun in a Beat Up Datsun”

Day 5 b
Bargain bin
This was bought for $4.99 back in the day. Probably late 84, early ‘85. I tended to only buy vinyl at that time because I could get it cheaper than the cassette.
Van Halen - 1984
