A comment FWIW about that BW article (http://nonjohn.com/History%20of%20Boogie%20Woogie.htm) and a question. My comment is about the movie "Ray" , my guess is...
Thanks for the reply. Drat - I hate buying dubs of my old LPs, but the 1938 recordings probably weren't ever on LP. Has anyone heard them? Strange personnel...
Mention of new Frog CDs reminds me that this site was recently the scene of some animated correspondence about JSP's underhanded ripping off various small ...
... I have now heard these and I guess that the reason they're omitted from the Frog issue is that Clarence Williams plays no perceptible (if any) part in ...
Thanks for listening. It sounds very much like what I was expecting. It is to be hoped that the unissued tracks on Frog will come as a pleasant surprise. Best...
"Classic" Boogie Woogie is full of odd combinations of measures. I think the head of "New Orleans Hop Scop Blues" is something like 17 bars long, is followed...
I think with 8/8 it's 8 bars and then it's sometimes another 8/8 for 8 bars length or 4/4 for 4 bars with varied , slowed down tempo even stopping the tempo...
I disagree. Blues by King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton amongst countless others are clearly of standard 12 bar length. Pinetop Smith always used an orthodox 12...
Dear Hugh, I agree with most of your points about the standard 12 bar length in early recorded blues progressions. What I would add is that the variants in...
... There isn't a shred of evidence to connect these with Clarence, unless you believe in the Pete Brown connection and my ears certainly don't. Any connection...
The main reason for connecting them with Williams, if I understand Lord correctly, is the repertoire, i.e. the numbers played at the session, which were owned...

For all its worth, when I was a kid, I had worked with my father, Roger Pryor Dodge, transcribing solos. I remember a few cases of 16 bar blues where the ...
If, like me, you enjoy stories with Hitchcockian ironic endings, you'll appreciate this one (although you may be shocked as well). I've been teaching for about...

Gerard, We are always amazed to hear stories like that. But I did some reserch on the web today, and, to answer your question: Yes, Louis Armstromg was black. ...

He was a sort of chocolate brown when I saw Him in 1956. Guess who I'm talking about. Oh yes, and I'm a sort of greyish off-white with red blotches here and...
