Alexander Kazankov and the “Cry Baby“ band - Frankie And Albert

Выступление с группой Cry Baby в передаче “Живьём с Максом“ на Российском телевидении в 1995 году. Performance with the “Cry Baby“ band on the Russian television. The leader of the group (solo guitarist), Alexander Nikishin later emigrated to Australia. The harper - Roman Gegart died of heart attack at the age of 36. The bass player - Dmitry Chestnyh (Честных) still plays in Moscow clubes with various bands. My name is Alexander Kazankov and I teach social anthropology in Russian University for Humanities (RSHU). Last year I read a report at Moscow University on the theme: “Can a Russian become a successful bluesman“. The lecture was supposed to be shot and put into youtube, but it didn’t. So I sort of comment on the theme here, because this theme equals essentially to my musical autobiography. In sum - I still haven’t lost hope due to the Internet possibilities.
