whistlin keeps the soul clean

[alexm141]

Man... I found this because I am stupid enough to try searching for myself on youtube... And since I am also Alex Moore, I found this video. But boy am I glad I did. As a musician myself... I have MUCH respect for this man. Wow. I love to watch blues musician and just feel the soul they have. And what a piano player. Great stuff. I dig it.

[SakkeusKukkonen]

@AllKindsaGirls

i wistle like that Dad taught me how to whistle like that its very loud

i think alot of peolpe in helsinki wistle like that

[speakwhnspkn2]

@SakkeusKukkonen Make sure y'all keep that bullshit in helsinki too. This is america. We don't like that type of shit. Not even from this guy. The whistling was terrible and detracted from the music.

[3rdPR]

@speakwhnspkn2 Fuck. Off.

[speakwhnspkn2]

@3rdPR After you faggot.

[3rdPR]

@speakwhnspkn2 shut up punk

[speakwhnspkn2]

@3rdPR I'd like to see how bold you'd be face to face. Anyone can be bad over a computer you fucking skinhead reject. If I ever met you face to face, I bet I'd beat your ass into a goddamn coma.

[3rdPR]

@speakwhnspkn2 Yeah, speaking of being bad over a computer... You, fag, are not shit.

[speakwhnspkn2]

@3rdPR All you gotta do is bring your ass here and I'll be glad to put my foot in it. You fucking pedophile.

[3rdPR]

@speakwhnspkn2 I'm a little busy right now...bitch. Find something to do, if you can do anything.

[mizz5star24]

[AllKindsaGirls]

i wish i had such an icon in my family.

[Hornilope]

when was this recorded?

[gitfiddlejim]

Hi Mizzy

I first heard your granpa on an LP in the 60,s live recording by an English researcher/author, Paul Oliver, on an LP , "Conversation with the Blues", Alex spoke for a while about Chock Houses, or barrelhouses, then did Chock House Boogie, with great pianna, & a very infectious laught at the end, he was really enjoyin playin. I also have some of his pre WW2 records + 2 from after war, both great tracks.

He was real good, does any one in your family still play blues?

Bye

You have to show them... tell'em "Betcha Hip Hop can't do this"

[tjmilbu]

Alex Moore died in his sleep on a city bus in Dallas in 1989. I was the county morgue attendant when they brought him in. He was dressed in a coat and tie, very distinguished looking. He had a button on his lapel that said "superstar" and he also had a smile on his face. I learned later that night who he was and I have never forgotten him. I went out the following day and ordered a cassette tape of his music. Been a fan ever since.

[blindbonder]

That one of the best stories I ever heard!

[ASAdamson]

Really? True Story. Wow that is really a part of history. It is kind of sad ending to a real talent. Thanks for sharing.

[sonhouseisking]

He used to play at the Dallas Public Library through his life and taught my father how to play and love the blues.

[necklord007]
