The wonderful blues duo Terry&McGhee performed "burnt child" and "Gonna move accross the river" in the german TV show "jazz gehôrt und gesehen" (jazz heard and seen).
i'm not sure, but i think it was taped in 1962!

  • You have a lot of growing up to do lad. It's cool to have your hero's, I loved Stevie too, saw him 5 or 6 times live. But SRV was SRV because of cats like this. I've watched your video, not bad for a beginner, but you will live to be 100 before you can play an acoustic guitar and sing like Brownie. Listen and learn child.....but keep jammin.

  • WTFFFFFFFFF, Who, please, anyone, name me anyone who can play that Harp like Mr. Sonny? I know there's a lot of talented guys/girls out there with this instrument, but his style- I find- is tooooo tough to copy. It's complicated and SMOOTH, I try and copy and it's UNATURAL

  • This is from the American Folk Blues Festival, 1967 European tour.

    The film footage was taped for a Danish tv-channel, 11 October 1967. The complete footage also includes: Skip James, Son House, Bukka White, Hound Dog Taylor, Koko Taylor, Little Walter and Otis Rush. All videos can be found on youtube.

    But, you know,.. Whatever,.

  • @CrispyClouds i own 4 dvds with all of this on them.... just search Amazon for The American Folk Blues Festival

  • Anyone else notice Skip James and Son House in the back? There's gotta be more of this footage somewhere...

  • this has to be the best harp player let alone blues duo ever gods in my eyes

  • @nosorog91 That appears to be a kazoo stuck into part of a trombone. I saw them once, but I never saw him using that....interesting.

  • 4:32 Brownie playin' on some type of trumpet, how that thing is called ?

  • Druzina Pere Kvrdzice

    :D

  • To all you guys who complain that you were born too late to see Sonny & Brownie play: You're right. No video comes close to capturing the energy and the music they made. I saw them about 1/2 dozen times in the 70s. Incredible and unforgetable!!!

  • @terrybeaton Sonny is playin harp Brownie is on guitar
