Everyone's a good one from Short. 

Seriously Johnm, JD was a good lyricist and if you visit Stefan's discography at http://www.wirz.de/music/shortfrm.htm at the foot of which you'll find he's provided three PDF downloads of a 70s appreciation of just such.

Yup, I agree, Bunker Hill.  Jaydee Short was a great singer, player and lyricist.  I love his post-rediscovery version of "Spoonful", I've never heard another like it.
All best,
Johnm

Back in 2007 we did have a YouTube of JD Short from the Charters film The Blues but sometime in the past four years it's been removed http://weeniecampbell.com/yabbse/index.php?amp;Itemid=60&topic=4177.0

I've said it before, but sometimes YouTube is so great.

You ain't kidding. This is from Giles Oakley's BBC TV series The Devil's Music shot at his St Louis home on January 23rd 1976. Now where did I put all those old video recordings of the series? Or is it all on DVD now and hence its appearance on YT?

Hi all,
Here's a nice fiddle blues from Charlie Bowman with John Hopkins on guitar.  I didn't know Charlie Bowman played anything like this.  They're both great!



All best,

Recorded Stockholm, 5 November 1963. Six songs in all were recorded, four appeared on a Danish EP in 60s and the remaining two (this song being one of them) on a limited edition British label, Rarity, in 70s.

Were all these tracks with guitar BH, or just this one?

Just this one, the guitarist for the session was Erik Host. There's one unaccompanied song Milky White Way thus

CS 1   Baby let me come back home Collector's Special(Dk) EP 100
CS 2   November boogie [inst]   Collector's Special(Dk) EP 100
CS 3   All night boogie [inst]   Collector's Special(Dk) EP 100
CS 4    Leavin? blues   Collector's Special(Dk) EP 100
CS 5    Kind hearted woman     Rarity(E) LP 1
CS 6    Milky White Way      Rarity(E) LP 1

In the 90s the first four songs turned up on a SBW Storyville CD whilst the last two songs appeared on a 1979 US bootleg label Blue Night - but to my knowledge nowhere else since. However being totally out of touch on such matters I'd gladly be corrected.
         
LATER EDIT: If you go to http://www.mnblues.com/review/2002/sonnyboywilliamson2-3-02-cr.html and scroll down to the bottom there's a Discography & Bibliography link, clicking on it and following the short bibliography will reveal a complete, chronological "sessionography" so you can see how the above fits in the great scheme of things.

Came across this one yesterday -- it pretty much doesn't get any better than this, musically, and the video and sound quality are excellent -- you get a great look and listen at a Fraulini in action:

BTW, thanks for that video of Craig Ventresco and Meredith Axelrod, Chris. Fabulous.
