HOUND DOG, Written by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stroller. 1952. Became a hit in 1953 for Big Mama Thornton. Sadly Big Mama passed away on July 25, 1984.

And.. Jerry Leiber passed away (today) August 22 2011.....

It's not fair that she didn't get any credit for the song!!! :(

@pretorious700 Pickin' 47 years already? How did THAT happen? I'm in diapers in comparison! Are there any clips on YouTube of you playing? Check out the Shake Your Boogie clip on the TopCat Channel. I'm the skinny guy on the left playing the Super 400.

I can identify with your Chuck Berry handshake. One of my biggest thrills was shaking B.B. King's hand. His hands are enormous, literally enveloping mine! Felt like a little boy shaking hands with a giant! Glad you like the channel. Thanks!

@topcatrecords Been about 47 years for me. On a side note, my biggest thrill was shaking Mr. Berry's hand-he has fingers like ball park hot dogs!!!

BTW, you're channel is great.

@pretorious700 WAY COOL that you had the great honor to play a gig with Chuck Berry! What a cool feather in your hat! (And a smart move staying out of his way) The stuff memories are made of! Congratulations! IMHO he was the real "Father of Rock 'n Roll."

I cut my guitar playin' teeth on Chuck Berry stuff. 1st two tunes I learned were Mabelline and Johnny B Goode... around 42 years ago!!!

@lolita88ism It's a fact? ALL white people in America steal ALL black people's music? Wow, that must be a LOT!! (lol) Historically that has happened to/by people of all colors. Still does. The Stones and Led Zeppelin notoriously claimed writing credits for songs written by Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon. Dixon supposedly copyrighted tunes created/recorded by others as well. (e.g. Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf).

@topcatrecords Naw, he was very nice. I think he only did that when the band's guitar player tried to show him up. I was more than happy to stay out of his way.
