The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doing now, man, for more years than I know. They played it like that in the shanties and in their juke joints, and nobody paid it no mind 'til I goosed it up. I got it from them. Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw - Elvis Presley, 1956, Last Train to Memphis

88 - He led a long, rich, fruitful life.  Great article, I learned a lot about Dick!  Your link is behind a payall, I used this one that was not (by googling DW).  https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/02/01/arts/dick-waterman-blues-appreciation/   ... which course looks like the same link.   ::)

As always, thanks for posting Stuart.

Hi Slack: I got there via Google as well and didn't encounter a paywall, so I wasn't aware it would be an obstruction. One of the pieces I saw mentioned "Two Trains Runnin'" which is available at PBS (if you're a subscriber).

It looks like there are two versions of the film, the original release that has a 1 hour 20 minutes runtime and the PBS version for its "Reel South" series that has been edited down to 56 minutes. It appears the latter is free, but the original is only available via the subscription services.

I watched the PBS version last night without signing in. I'm looking forward to watching the full version.
