For those of you who are interested, more of the single CDs have sold, as you'll see as you look at the list. There are still a lot of terrific CDs available, though, for U. S. purchasers or Canadians in B. C. who would be willing to drive down to Bellingham to pick up CDs they would purchase. Take a look and see if anything catches your eye.
All best,
Johnm

1.  Paramount

2.  Yazoo version is take 2. This is probably the best copy.

3.  Morning Prayer

4.  two sided test pressing discovered 2001 in Wisconsin, purchased by John Tefteller for over $12,000; John Tefteller: "The takes are virtually identical. I cannot discern any difference between the two."

Hi, I am still trying to compile my dream Tommy Johnson collections, including the best remasters of all his output. I have several questions for the experts who inhabit this forum.

1. Is the version of Lonesome Home Blues on "The Return of the Stuff that Dreams are Made Of" one of the Victor recordings (45463) or the Paramount recording (L-230-2)

2. Where can the best remasters of the two takes of Black Mare be found. I have one on Yahoo's Jackson Blues 1007 CD, but I am not sure whether that is take 1 or take 2.

3. I am confused by the two Morning Prayer and Boogaloosa Woman takes, which one is the Button Up Shoes on "Masters of the Delta Blues"?

4. Finally, how many takes were there of "I Want Someone To Love Me"? If there were 2 takes, which one is on the Blues Images 101 CD?

Thanks for the information, Lightnin'. That's pretty cool that you got to see Boogie Woogie Red--also cool that you have that picture and can still lay your hands on it after all these years!
All best,
John

According to Leadbitter and Slaven; on Bumble Bee Blues (1951) John Lee Hooker is accompanied by Boogie Woogie Red - piano and Curtis Foster - drums. Here is a photo of Boogie Woogie Red that I took during the first Country Blues Festival U.N.C. Chapel Hill, N.C. back in 1973.

Hi all,
John Lee Hooker recorded "Bumble Bee Blues" with an ensemble and it appears on an anthology called "Essential Detroit Blues". John Lee accompanied himself out of E position in standard tuning for the performance and his guitar has a wonderful "ripping sheet metal" sort of tone. I analyzed John Lee's vocal phrasing of this performance in the thread "Vocal Phrasing: The Long and the Short of it", at https://weeniecampbell.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=951.msg90203#msg90203 for any of you who are interested. I don't know who his band members were, and would appreciate that information if any of you know it Here is "Bumble Bee Blues":



INTRO

Bumble bee, bumble bee, bumble bee . . . bumble bee, please come back to me
Bumble bee, bumble bee, bumble bee . . . bumble bee, please come back to me
Bring me my granulated sugar, bumble bee, and try to ease my baby to me

She stung me this morning, I been lookin' for her all day long
Yes, she stung me this morning, yes, yes, I been lookin' for her all day long
Get me to the place, one time, hate to see my bumble bee leave home

My bumble bee got a stinger, just as long as her right arm
Yes, my bumble bee got a stinger, just as long as her right arm
Every time she sting me, hate to see my bumble bee leave home (Spoken: Now rock the blues away!)

PIANO SOLO

Yes, buzz me, buzz me, buzz me, 'til I don't want no more, buzz me, buzz me, bumble bee now, rock me all night long, I said
Buzz me, buzz me all night long
I said buzz me, buzz me, I don't want no more

CODA

All best,
Johnm
