Jimmy "Duck" Holmes
Jimmy "Duck" Holmes (born July 28, 1947) is an American blues musician and proprietor of the Blue Front Cafe on the Mississippi Blues Trail, the oldest surviving juke joint in Mississippi. Holmes is known as the last of the Bentonia bluesmen, as he is the last blues musician to play the Bentonia School. Like Skip James and Jack Owens and other blues musicians from Bentonia, Mississippi, Holmes learned to play the blues from Henry Stuckey, the originator of the Bentonia blues.

Jimmy Holmes (trade Unionist)
James Holmes (1850 – 1911) was a British trade union leader and politician. Holmes began working in a knitwear factory, initially as a winding boy on hand frames, and later moved over to run powered knitting frames. In the early 1870s, he was a supporter of republicanism, and of Charles Bradlaugh and the National Secular Society. Around the middle of the decade, he was elected to the executive of the Leicester and Leicestershire Framework Knitters' Union, and was soon regarded as the leading trade unionist among the machine knitters. In 1881, Holmes began working for the union, but he was unhappy with its focus on hand knitting, and in 1885, he led a split of machine knitters, to form the Leicester and Leicestershire Amalgamated Hosiery Union.

The union grew steadily, was able to at times employ Holmes full-time. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
