Blues For Gamblers

Sonny Terry, harmonica
Brownie McGhee, guitar
Lightnin' Hopkins, guitar
Recordingdate : Mid- or late sixties.
Sonny Terry ( Sanford Terrell ), blind since 1924, was associated with Blind Boy Fuller and recorded with him in 1937. In April 1939 he met Brownie McGhee ( Walter Brown McGhee )in NYC.
Thereafter they worked together their entire life. The first recording together was in May 1942.
Note :American Folk Blues Festivals were common in Europe in the sixties. A revival of the Blues. The Bluesmen came to our concerthouses/stages and we just loved them.
This is a take from just such a concert.
Enjoy !

I knew, Sonny and Brownie met in NYC, but I didn't know the poker hand is called "Broadway".
Just a coincidence I choosed that picture, "poker hand ".
Thank you and
Peace Brother !

Very fitting video,as that poker hand is called "Broadway",home to very city where Sonny and Brownie met. Maybe you already knew something that you didn't yet know.

Thanks TC !
It's Blues For Gamblers, and I'm sure we all are. Playin the Blues is a gamble and tryin to catch a catfish is also a gamble.*smile*
Take Care
