"I started a guitar school. It was called Home of the Blues, on 125th Street in New York. I did that for five, six years and had a lot of students - Brownie McGhee"
I believe one of the Traum Bros. Artie or Happy studied with Brownie there, but anyone know of anyone else? Is there any printed material extant from the school? I know Gary Davis taught there for a while, but he expressed serious dislike of Brownie to me when his name came up, because McGhee had turned him down for a loan to buy a new guitar after one of his had been stolen on the street.
It seems like finding out more info, might be an avenue into finding some older New York based players. Maybe there are hundreds of 75 year old Brownie acolytes hidden away.
