Blues for Aficionados

Keegiam,
 Acman3 is correct, it does not work, in spite of being highly recommended by The Frogman.   All I got were looks of disgust.

Cheers

NEW ORLEANS: THE LIVING LEGENDS

Riverside / Original Blues Classics   1961 / 1990

Notes: The singing of the Blues to the accompaniment of cornet and piano was one of the earliest forms taken by Jazz when it first found its way onto phonograph records in the 1920s.  The records of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ida Cox are examples of "classic" Blues, and thirty-five years ago the "race" catalogues of record companies were full of them.  To most collectors of such records, the "classic" Blues style is fascinating--and all but extinct.  But in New Orleans, thanks to a durable couple named Billie and DeDe Pierce, and also to a rather fantastic little dance hall named Luthjens, this tradition has been kept very much alive.

I had precious few lines that ever worked, but that's life.  They're just ice-breakers - that's when we really had to step up.  It's fun to look back on it all.

Yikes, it's great to see you all sharing Jr. Kimbrough.  Asie Payton anyone?  Cedell Davis?  Robert Belfour?  RL Burnside?

These guys aren't going to be mentioned in "Jazz for Aficionados," so thanks Rok for creating BFA.  I'll be back.
