In 1950, Mrs. [Franklin D.] Roosevelt took Josh on a concert tour of Europe. In England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Scotland, he sang to sell-out crowds. Fifty thousand people showed up for one concert in Stockholm and at an Ambassador's party on Copenhagen; even the King of Denmark sat on the floor and joined in singing spirituals. In England, Princess Margaret asked Josh to sing Don't Smoke In Bed - Peter Rachtman, July, 1961 issue of 33 Guide, on Josh White's earlier visits to Europe

Two Abbreviated Broonzys
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:31:52 AM »
In concert with the Broonzy biography Discussion, here are two Big Bill songs I threw down on my I-phone at the spur of the moment, hence the missing verses

Willy Mae art by Romare Bearden


Just a Dream art by Henri Rousseau (sleeping Gypsy)

I especially like that "Willie Mae", Phil, and very much admire the way your singing calls all the shots in terms of your phrasing.  That is really cool.
All best,
Johnm

It sounds like you really know Willie Mae, Phil!  ;)

Well done as always, Mr. O'--solid and expressive playing and singing--and very enjoyable.

Two really nice performances, O'Muck. 

On your  iPhone, eh?  What software?  Did you use an external mic?

Really enjoyed both songs, mightily impressed by the sound quality you get from an (apparently) simple set up - but of course the playing and singing had to be of good quality first to achieve this, and it was!
Thanks for posting them!
