Field Trip: A Visit with
Alvin "Little Pink" Anderson
"The Carolina Bluesman"

Spartanburg County Public Library, Spartanburg, SC

Little Pink admonishes the audience as to the proper way to season "Greasy Greens." His father, Piedmont bluesman Pink Anderson, recorded "Greasy Greens" in 1961.

Colloquium students wait in anticipation for Little Pink to take the stage. Pictured here (L to R): Danny Ness, Landis Lacey, Adam Hill, Mason Moshoures, and Arielle Carlson.
