Cute girl, but this is what it's all about it.

Big Joe Williams wrote/recorded that in 1935, as you know it's been covered by a ton.

That's Shelia Wilcoxson on the National Steel guitar and vocals. Her, Rose Hemphill and Appalachian great Hazel Dickens must listens.

Cute girls a dime a dozen.

Frankie Lee Sims was from Louisiana but mostly played in Texas. This from 1948 a year after his cousin Lightnin' Hopkins first recorded out here in Cali.

Tommy Johnson a Delta player the first to sing about....meat shaking on the bone....back in 1928. His...Big Fat Mama...a classic.

[Avante]

I think most of you have heard of BB King. And maybe John Lee Hooker. Muddy Waters?

Well they all recorded after 1940.

Robert Johnson recorded in 1936 and he's pretty well known. Then we have those old blues cats that are only known by those like myself. A lot of these cats stepped into a recording studio sang a few songs and were never heard of again. guys like Bo Jones, Bobby Grant, Lane Hardin, The Shelor Family, hell...Freezone (nobody knows his real name)...only recorded one song.

Then we had this from 1927....

When Rolling Stone Magazine did their TOP 100 GUITARISTS of all time they had a number of blues cats listed with B.B.King and Robert Johnson in the top 10. They also ranked T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy and Lightnin' Hoplkins. Now you'd think Rolling Stone would know their stuff, nope!

You don't have to include blues guys at all, but if you do you must have Tampa Red, Scrapper Blackwell and the greatest blues guitarists ever, Lonnie Johnson.

This is an amazing tune, one that Elvis covered at his first Sun Records recording session in 1955. You can see why...



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POnWb_fJc4I


Elvis also covered Big Boy Crudups That's Alright Mama and Junior Parkers Mystery Train. His "Hound Dog" which came a little later was a Big Mama Thornton song. Yep, none of them saw a dime.

[Avante]

Bluecoat Tom Nelson, he was called that because he performed wearing a blue army coat from the cival war, yep...yankee, he along with T.C.Johnson and some cat called Porkchop worked in the old minstrel shows. They have a rather unique sound, a little different.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG_Cpt1Viy4


One of the really primitive old blues players was Bo Jones, he was a Texan. He recorded but one record and it's about as down in the bucket/back in the alley as it gets. What a shame he didn't record more. Why just one record can be asked for a ton of these guys, it's simply...???



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1FzZMqYwQE

[Avante]

(with 10 or so seconds left in a video move on to the next, yep...smooth)

While I own all that old stuff, I;m not constantly wandering around the Delta searching for those crossroads in 1927 with Tommy Johnson. It's just that that is the music that inspired this....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztf_VBhcL7c&list=PLrrJ5MSYob87jhgS89S6ARgq CXdYJ5OcZ

That is a cover of a cover, ha~~~~~ Robert Johnson did the original, then along came slide master Elmore James (huge influense on Brian Jones with the Stones) to make it famous.

It took me a long long time to finally warm up to bluegrass, why I don't know. The talent these artists have is great, now I have Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs and a ton of this...

If your lover is treating ya bad, maybe cheatin' n' lyin', and you're all bummed out, down in the dumps and need something to cheer ya up, put a smile back on your face, this is it.

[Avante]

So what is my favorite blues tune? There is just something about this song that grabs me like no other. And old Lightnin' is a Texan.

My bad. I kind of thought we had a thing going. Like Abbot and Costello. You're the straight man who knows all kinds of facts and I'm the carefree handsome guy that always has witty things to say and I'm always bailing you out of trouble that you get into with the bookies.

Just got back from jury duty. yep another young Mexican male in trouble, this time it was receiving stolen goods and then selling them.

When you get to the jury selection area of the courthouse they have that days "docket" 95% Gomez, Hernandez, Garcia, Sanchez, sheesh.

Then after the movie and waiting around with nobody too concerned with your time you all get shuffled into the jury room. The judge explains how proud you should be to have...

To make a long story short all the Mexicans there play the old...me no speaky Engleessh...so there they go while all us whites are stuck.

So when my turn came....

Avante..can we talk in private? (something that was being done)
So there we are, me. the judge, two laywers and two cops standing in a little side room.
Avante....when I left the house this morning my wife said..."I bet it's another young hispanic"...I grinned in agreement. The reason she said that is because everytime I get called it it's that same guy and here he is again. Look at your docket for today, nothing but hispanics in trouble. How can you expect me to not be bias?
Judge....you can go.
Avante...:hat

It was easier than I expected. If I'd got some static...

Avante....and you asked if anyone knew the defendant, well I don't know him but thought he looked familiar. I think I saw him over at my son in law's cousin house, we went there to pick up a frig he'd bought. Chris is hispanic and all his family is into gangs, you know Johnny Mendoza*** (looking at the cops) right?

Maybe next time.

*** this is true.

Avante....hell yes, huge dance floor.
Cop....isn't prostitution legal there and age a non factor?
Avante...yep!
Another Cop....I got so much butt out of there, amazing.
Avante...ya don't feel guilty?
