A rare Piedmont NC Blues recording by Sonny Terry, who many consider to be one of the pioneers of Blues harmonica. Record has a crack but still plays through, at least enough to capture it on video/audio.. This is a 1940's Sears Silvertone Crank style Victrola record player. It's the model that courting couples would bring on their picnics. No electricity needed! I saw this same model in an episode of M*A*S*H* when Hawkeye was examining one of those Bombshell Nurses... More 78 classic records on video coming soon.. I have the Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan, Woody Herman, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, BB King, Artie Shaw, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Les Paul w/Mary Ford, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin' Hopkins and lots of old Swing Era records... Stay Tuned!

Sonny Terry taught me the first song he ever learned, from his grandfather, pretty simple half chords half single note refrains...and all falsetto (which is why, he said, he liked Canned Heat's stuff - about 1968) He could see a bit, enough to walk around. I played drums with them now and then, and hung out with Brownie, who lived in Oakland, as well as Arthur Crudup, and made 2 songs with my mentor Howlin' Wolf (not released yet but maybe this year... beyond amazing harp when doing all melody
