Agh Man, You guys Rock Very Happy

I thought I died and went to Heaven, Biff your spot on superb great artist.
I like the Harmonica playing of Sonny Boy Williamson "Good morning School Girl" and of course Sonny Terrys " Harmonica Stomp" One of my big favourites is "Cow Cow Stomp" by Jed Davenport.

Cathy, ain't she just great Big Mamma, I have her on a DVD. You guys have made my Day. kiss

John Hammond, one of the best white blues musicians.

Tom Rush's great interpretation of The Panama Limited.

Both these guys came out of the Great Folk Scare of the late 50s and early 60s. Too bad there aren't any performances on youtube by the late Dave Van Ronk, the mayor of MacDougal Street, another superb blues guitar player and vocalist.

Turn up the volume so the neighbors can hear!!

Excellent again Biff, how I envy you all in the US, the music shops here are limited in their selection of blues artists, and when I ordered some from Amazon. Com. The customs here charged me excise duty on them. Crying or Very sad

Thank You so much Biff.
Iv'e managed to copy all those Artists clips from You Tube. Mr. Green
I think if they were to pick up a rusty nail and a piece of string they would be able to get a tune out of them.
When there was none of the modern electronic devices in their day, these old guys could make their instruments talk. Absolutly Fantastic.
Cheers Mike.

The Mississippi Sheiks
Sitting On Top of the World

This song also has become a bluegrass standard.
Hope you like the high, lonesome sound of Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys.

Hello. I'm Cathy's daughter. I just thought I'd add some links, too...I hope you don't mind...and by some, of course, I mean a good myriad. Six, to be exact. Sorry if this is too much for one post...these are mostly more popular artists, so sorry for that, as well.

Buddy Guy on electric guitar and vocals, Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones on bass, Pinetop Perkins on piano, and Junior Wells on harp. Song: When You See The Tears From My Eyes. Visual quality is a little subpar, unfortunately...

www.youtube.com/watch?...ZbGIc&NR=1
Magic Sam on vocals and guitar. This is probably the best of the batch. Song: All Your Love and Magic Sam's Boogie.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TZ7omxqzag
Hound Dog Taylor on vocals and guitar, Little Walter on harp, and the Houserockers on everything else. Song: Wild About You, Baby.

Otis Rush on vocals and guitar. Song: I Can't Quit You, Baby.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux6N00CwudA

Ever since I was able to access the You Tube site, I'm never off it, I'm like a child with a new toy. Mr. Green

Biff & Cathy's daughter thank you, they were some of the great masters of the Blues.
Little Walter is a great harmonica player, I did manage to get one of his CD's "Confessing the Blues" Just love it.
When ever I'm feeling blue, the music just lifts me , right now as I type this I'm listening to "Lonnie Johnson" I'm a Jelly Roll Baker funny 7 great.
Regards,
Mike.

Sameoldblues,

Thanks for posting those. First time I've heard Magic Sam--I really enjoyed him! And Muddy Waters, well, a legend. I've just about worn out my vinyl copy of Fathers and Sons with Otis Spann, Duck Dunn, Buddy Miles Paul Butterfield and others.

Keep 'em comin'!
Biff
