If you notice the audience, their like making a mockery out of his motions for feeling his blues. They don't understand the sincerity and feelings that should be captured by his marvelous performance . Even that woman of his own color up in the very front acting as if she's the whole show or something. To me she's just ruining it for him , or giving it her best to do so.
i know nothing about blues, Furry Lewis or even guitars, but watching and listening to this, i know this fella was something very very special. dynamite
I totally get it. Leon had the right admiration for the man who helped to start it all. I'm a Memphian and Furry never received the respect he deserved out of Memphis. He was a great blues man. I watched him play that song sitting on the side of his bed when we went to visit. Furry was always in the mood to perform and to share his love.
This video is absolutely amazing. I've been listening to "Judge Boushay Blues" all day and just so happened to stumble upon this video. Thank you for uploading this. The cig in the mouth is soo classy. "Arrested me for forgery and I can't sign my name."
Thank you so much for uploading this!
