Greetings to you all. My name is Prof. Carlos D. Matthews & I attend the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Walls, MS. The legendary Memphis Minnie is buried in our church cemetery. I was young, but I remember when her body was laid to rest there. People come from both near and far just to visit her grave and leave memorable artifacts there. We consider it an honor to have her resting there. God bless you all.
@cmatthewsmoore That's very cool and interesting, thanks for sharing this info. Yes, it is an honor for you to have her so near! Wow, maybe you should send this info to MS visitors bureau or to Smithsonian Institute and/or the U.S. Library of Congress, who both keep records on American music history. Or maybe they already know since you have many visitors? I would come visit Minnie when I visit MS :)
wait a minute........This is ROCK & ROLL. I have been trying over the years to find earliest examples of rock....I am no expert but it fascinates me. Rock existed well before the term rock and roll was coined in the 1950s. Everyone seems to think Ike Turner recorded the first rock song.."rocket 88" in the early 50s.....which he took from Cadiliac boogie from the 40s...wich is total hog wash.......so now I have an example from the 30s......I wonder how much farther back I can go
@inkey2 You'll find similar sounds in traditional African music with instruments similar to the guitar and banjo used, with call-and-response, etc. Rock & Roll, Blues, R&B, Country, etc. have been hugely influenced by Africa and African music courtesy of slavery.
@inkey2 You can go back to the 20 blues...then before that with early country and bluegrass...and even go back to the mid-1800s and before with old slave songs. Then, even further before that, maybe even hundreds of years, to African music, using percussion.
Finally a female singer/musician who I like, it's actually suprisingly hard nowadays to come across a female musical figure that isn't like lady gaga.
Listen to these instruments in this recording, they are very simple and yet they sound so great when played togehter. Its amazing what you can do when you let out whats in your heart. TY for posting God Bless

This one goes beyond blues - such a hard backbeat on the shuffle. It's danceable in the 50's style of "shag" music. Great excitement created.
