  • Here's for all the country boys that thought they could play it!

  • Yeah baby -- tryin' to remember this tune we used to play in my band in the early 60's. Thanks for the post!!!!

  • Wow, use to dance the birdland to this in Philly. This was one that Bill Doggett would play at the Uptown Theatre and send the house into a frenzy with everybody dancing in the aisles. The guards would be trying to get us back into our seats but it just didn't work out. Oh we had such good times.

  • Stevie Ray Vaughan used it too- he called it "Hanky-Pankin'", as I recall...a great lick....

  • C seventh,augmented ninth.

  • Thank you for posting this!

  • @lcozzarelli You said it, pal: "The Wikipedia/Youtube Nexus" has got me in a GRIP!!!!

  • Doug Sahm did this song on his double CD. A new arrangement on a timeless cut.

  • @tunepeddler It's also used a lot in Jimi Hendrix's songs (albeit with a lot more distortion), and is now more known as the "Hendrix Chord"...but before that it was known as the "Hold It Chord" ...I was looking Hendrix stuff up on wikipaedia and it brought me here. The wikipaedia/youtube nexus is unbeatable way to fritter away your time, no? :)

  • @larrynealwaxmuseum My name is Kelly Donahue. I live in Albuquerque, NM. For many years I listened to your Wax Museum show from KOMA 1520 AM Oklahoma City almost every Sunday Night/ Monday Morning. Of course, it was after dark when the station came in fairly clear, but I sure loved it. You played first a '50's song, then something from the mid to late '60's, then a song from the early '60's and then a '70's song then back to the '50's, etc... in that order, with some exceptions. Thanks
