Gip Gipson has been throwing his backyard Saturday night parties in the tin-roof garage at his home in Bessemer, Alabama, since 1952. As a part-time musician and blues fan, he decided to invite other musicians in to entertain friends and neighbours on the weekend. Now, at the age of 96 (give or take, no one knows) he's still playing host to anything from a few dozen to a couple hundred blues fans who bring their own booze to help keep Gip on the right side of the law.
