Yea You right... pre Electric Guitar

Ummmmmmm Muddy, you are showing how old you are with some of these bands. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Showing his Cajun connection  

Hey Catt; most most memorable years, before I met Elaine were in New Orleans . That city put me at one with my musical roots, and from a guy who lovess Brooklyn as much as I do that is saying a lot. That mix of cultures from Mississippi to the Gulf is the birth place and heartland of all my favorite forms of musci.

Honorable mention to Memphis Tenn. 8-)

FUGGIT ABOUT IT 8-)

     

It is spelled "Fugheddaboudit" I hope you know that and are just making it shorter. It would be bad mistake if that was not the case. 8-)

South Brooklyn Spelling ;D

You Benson Hurst piece of trash ;D ;D

(I know Benson is in SW Brooklyn but I had to think of a real bad part )

Like Cerano before me might I suggest:

You Bushwick Wacker

You Red Hook well Hooker

You  Bed Stuy Bad Guy

or you Mook From Flatbush

or least not forget; Coney Island Baby ( as per Lou Reed) 8-)

Whether these claims are technically true or not, two Tennessee

cities boast big claims:

Memphis: "Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll"

Nashville: "Music City"

I-40 between Memphis and Nashville is officially designated as

the "Music Highway"

8-)

JW Handy wrote BEALE ST BLUES, in Memphis: That is why the equivalent of the Grammys for Blues are called the WC HANDY awards, in his honor. Memphis was in the mix, i would say the real roots came for Lousiana, Texas and Mississippi

Rock and Roll don't have a home, it's an orphan of the blues! MUDDY WATERS WROTE: " The blues had a child and they named it Rock and Roll!"

I can't give that to Memphis. I would say that when stride piano playing, at the time : by PROFESSOR LONG HAIR, met with Little Richard's Screaming vocals Rock and Roll was more or less let loose

Little Richard grew up watching , lavishly dressed SCREAMERS>>. Transvestite barkers for Medicine Shows, he took the Clothing and the Vocals and layered it atop of that Stride Piano sound coming out of New Orleans and the rest is history! 8-)

Music City? >> What kind of music

Hey Muddy, good to see somebody knows who Roy Buchanan is seen him with Johhny Winter. Great show. Ever hear of Bugs Henderson?

Music City? >> What kind of music

Both kinds, Country and Western!

Muddy why are these New Orleans legends not on your list?

Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong: jazz trumpeter and singer

Charles "Buddy" Bolden: regarded by contemporaries as a key figure in the development of a New Orleans style of rag-time music which later came to be known as jazz.

Pierre Dewey (Pete Fountain )LaFontaine, Jr.: New Orleans clarinetist

George "Buddy" Guy: American blues and rock guitarist and singer. Known as an inspiration to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and other guitarists

Alois Maxwell (Al) Hirt: American trumpeter

RW hears a little know fact Howard Duane Allman & Gregory (Greg) Lenoir Allman born Nashville, Tennessee  

Muddy no like Clapton?

Tears in Heaven makes me cry from time to time.

Better Look again: LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND THE HOT FIVE!!!!! in the Jazz selection. I didnt list them all because as I said in my post, IT WOULD BE TOO LONG.I love Buddy Guy, I played at Rosie's ( The Rose Tattoo, across from Tips) many moons ago in New Orleans  and met him there, I have seen him many times and own a lot of his music.Tell you the truth I think another New Orleanian (guitarist), for me was more influential SNOOKS EAGLIN. I dont mean he is better, just influenced my playing a whole lot more.

Big Boy and Fountain: Good ,taleneted musicans who seemed to get a higher status then deserved b/c of many Tonight Show appearances.

This is just my personal likes and dislikes, I like some more than others. Not too many bands or Muscians I just can't tolerate>> Metallica and Phil Collins would head those lists

And lets not forget from New Orelans : The Father Of Jazz Piano, one of the founding fathers himself JELLY ROLL MORTON 8-)

Muddy no like Clapton?

Tears in Heaven makes me cry from time to time.

Clapton is more than proficient; Just a fine , fine guitarist. But you can hear he's from the other side of the pond, I just don't get the feeling from him I get more out of one listening of TEXAS FLOOD (SRV), Live Version from the Club Morocco, than all of Claptons work put together. Favorite Clapton: Riding with the KING, the duet and Grammy winner with BB KING

Hey Muddy, good to see somebody knows who Roy Buchanan is seen him with Johhny Winter. Great show. Ever hear of Bugs Henderson?

Can't say I have : Got a Link or suggestion?, I will give it a listen 8-)

I'm surprised that Ry Cooder and Dwight Yoakum aren't on your list.

Cooder was interesting for a minute, who is the other guy? ;D

Hey Muddy, good to see somebody knows who Roy Buchanan is seen him with Johhny Winter. Great show. Ever hear of Bugs Henderson?

Love Roy Buchanan.  Search You Tube.  Plenty of video.  All that sound is just his guitar.  No special effects.  Settled here in the mid-Atlantic and hung himself in a Fairfax County,  VA jail cell. :-[

Muddy--your blues list is OUTSTANDING! Great taste  

Seems like there was a controversy on wether Roy hung himself or somebody did it for him. He was picked up on public intoxication.

Ummmmmmm Muddy, you are showing how old you are with some of these bands. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm 28 and love boston!?!!?!??
