Sonny Boy Williamson performing Keep It To Yourself

[spyguys]

While on tour in England, Sonny Boy II (Rice Miller) had a suit made and got that bowler hat, umbrella and harp case. Funny how he claimed that he was called Sonny Boy Williamson before the real Sonny Boy Williamson was. Sonny Boy 1 (John Lee Williamson) had some successful records and Miller then began to be called SB Williamson on a live weekly radio show soon after that. Even with the name confusion, he was still great. Now people refer to them as Sonny Boy I and Sonny Boy II.

‎"The gaps make room for that harmonica, and help to facilitate his unique playing." ha ha ha I think the "musicologist" who wrote that believes it. I think he should have kept THAT comment to himself. heheheh

When I play exactly some of.the riffs Howlin' Wolf taught me in the style of the song at hand, I don't sound like Wolf (tone wise and not sure any can much) but do sound like Rice Miller (SBII) and even more so if I wish to.

Thanks for posting this the teeth ... is not the secret
