MARK HUMMEL @ Green Parrot - Key West

Mark Hummel & the Blues Survivors perform a crowd-pleaser at the Green Parrot in Key West, FL. 5/17/2007

This song has a long history of pleasing crowds.
The riff is most often attributed to Bo Diddley. Various recordings abound of "Willie and The Hand Jive."
Myself, I relate this to the Rolling Stones. "Not Fade Away" was originally recorded in 1957 by Buddy Holly & the Crickets, released as a B-side to "Oh, Boy!"

In 1964, the Stones' cover became their first U.S. single.

Others have covered the song over the years. The Grateful Dead reportedly played it over 500 times in concert over the years.
Most recently, Sheryl Crow covered the song for a hair color commercial that ran during Super Bowl 2007.

Fantastic demonstration of soloing and entertaining. Nice to see how he wove in some easy licks while building his solo. An inspiration to this player and others I'm sure.Will have to borrow some of these licks for "Who do You Love".
