Lost Gems

[Avante]

A few years ago I found a CD at a yardsale, it's was Elvis's first recording session for Sun Studios in Memphis in 1954.

Most know about how he took tunes by Big Boy Crudup, Lonnie Johnson and Junior Parker and passed them off as his own. Confident that white folks weren't listening to race records. His...Hound Dog...which came a little later was an old Big Mama Thornton tune. None of those I mentioned saw a dime.

Anyway...

This tune has been totally forgotten as you hear it here for the first time. I think it's one of his very best.

I mentioned Lonnie Johnson,(first recorded in 1925) he is considered the greatest prewar blues guitarist there was, he's fantastic. He also had a great voice. Elvis stold this one from him. He did do a great job however.

You ever talk about what a thread is actually about? Why the overwelming immaturity you show constantly?

You seem so simple and limited, so why not hang with those more like yourself?

This thread is about musical gems not yardsales, ok little man?

Why me? Why am I the one a dumb like you has to zero in on? Obviously ya can't talk about anything I talk about so why are you here? And, ya do it all the time. Little man stick to worrying about where other posters are and movies and hamburgers and like that, ok? Why post in a thread about things you don't understand?

Talk to me about the black bluesmen that Woody Guthrie recorded with.

[Avante]

Look people, you have a golden opportunity to learn things, why fight it so damn hard? I'd love it. Doesn't the silly bull I see out of some of you bore you by now? Obviously I'm going to do what I do, so why even bother? Go talk burgers, porno, where's so and so and like that, pass me by if all ya can do is act stupid...ok?

This is why xmas says what he does, way too many of you totally disrespecting others and their threads. With most of you making that your only reason for even posting here. That totally sucks.

When you can guarantee that we'll see ClipperNation, Blake and Chump in this thread that's sad.

Ok, so who out there has that lost gem, a tune most have never heard?
