I saw Johnny Shines with Robert Lockwood in London many years ago - a two night stint. At the end of the second night, some fool in the audience shouts, "Johnny Shines, you are a sexist!" Shines says, "What?" Guy repeats it. Shines says, "Texas? I don't know nothing about Texas." Collapse of interlocutor - Johnny Shines, by Chris Smith on prewarblues list, Bunker Hill, also present, dates it Sunday 28th October 1979

"Henry Lee" and "One Cold December Day", both recorded by Dick Justice, are both in 3/4. All best, Johnm Furry Lewis' The Bugle Song is in 3/4:
Cheers Pan Edited to add: I guess this is the same song as "Bugle Waltz", which we already have listed? Hi all,
Rev. Edward W. Clayborn's hymn, "Death Is Only A Dream", was played in waltz time. All best, Johnm Hi all,
I just learned from the Joseph Spence thread ( http://weeniecampbell.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=944.0 ), that his tune "Oh How I Love Jesus" is in waltz time. Cheers Pan Hi all
Apart from Leadbelly, Tom Darby and Jimmie Tarlton also did "Birmingham Jail". Leadbelly - Birmingham Jail (Down in the valley) Cheers Pan Howard Armstrong & Ted Bogan did a fun version of an old german folksong "Du, Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen":
Cheers Pan Hi all
I just came across "Penitentiary Blues", a waltz tune by Jimmie Davis, the "singing governor of Louisiana". This tune from 1930 probably has black musicians Ed Schaffer and Oscar Woods backing him up on guitars, according to Dixon & Godrich. A snippet can be heard at: http://www.allmusic.com/album/release/midnight-blues-1929-1933-mr0000608284 Cheers Pan wreid75
I am amazed how unwaltz like they are. On close inspection it is obvious but most people could rock out to these songs and often miss out on the fact that they are waltz numbers
Hi all
Jimmie Rodgers' beautiful "Prairie Lullaby" (written by Billy Hill) is in waltz time. Cheers Pan Hi all,
Dock Boggs' post-rediscovery recording of "Old Joe's Barroom" is in waltz time, as are his renditions of "No Disappointment In Heaven" and "Papa, Build Me A Boat". All best, Johnm Thank you Johnm and Chris.
I added the songs to the list. http://www.folkways.si.edu/TrackDetails.aspx?itemid=35622 Cheers Pan |
