Did a quick search for Furtado and the search engine thought I meant to search for "farted".  Hmmm....
SO...
TONY FURTADO!!
Banjo player extraordinaire and a damn fine bottlenecker to boot! 
Some newish vids popped up on youtube, so I thought I'd share one of 'em with y'all.

Plenty more out there on the tube for those interested.
Take care.

I just came upon Houston Stackhouse with Joe Willie Wilkins, doing this great version of "Cool Drink Of Water, on another forum:



"How about that?"

There's a whole bunch of these Maxwell Street vids on YouTube, and I think at least one of them (Robert Nighthawk) has already been posted here. But I really like this one--street gospel:



Lindy

[Slack]

Jam on the one! 

Man I wish I could dance like that - talk about loose.

Really love the two little girls walking through so nonchalantly.

Shave and a haircut, Shampoo, ending!  Love that too!

Thanks for posting that Lindy.

dance (ballet) on Sonny Terry's 'Harmonica Breakdown'



the dance itself starts at 2.30 and is a joy to watch; the rest (also in part 1) is Jane Dudley, the choreographer explaining about the dance and how and when it was conceived.

[Mr.OMuck]

Nice. Did it sound like the Sonny Terry piece was slowed down to you? The B&W stills were beautiful too.
How'd you happen to stumble onto this Carl?

[daddystovepipe]

I saw it on tv performed by a white dancer a long time ago, so not this slowed down version.   Seeing Sonny Terry by accident on Youtube I thought about the dance again and did a search. isn't the internet amazing

Don't remember seeing this one of Sleepy John Estes and Yank Rachel doing Mailman Blues in the '50s. Couldn't find it in a search, either. No embedding allowed.

Looks like some other's are connected to it.

Edit - Weird, even just posting from the www creates an imbed which then shows an "unavailable" message, with no way to click through. Delete the large gap in the above url and cut and paste into your browser. Best I can do.

All for now.

That video is not from the 1950s but from the 1966 American Folk Blues Festival in UK.
Recorded Wed. 28 Sept London Royal Abert Hall.
( I have a DVD bought from ebay UK )
Needless to say that Yank & Estes video knocks me off

[waxwing]

Sorry. Typo. Says '66 right on the youtube title. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, knocks my socks off, too.

All for now.

Rene - is there any other Sleepy John Estes/Yank Rachell on the DVD?

[67rene]

Frank, no it?s the only one on this DVD.
I have a few more songs of Yank on VHS tapes.
I still need to get these transferred to DVD/ Video CD .... may take some time

do you know this little video from Adelphi records ?

Well it?s very poor picture and sound quality but I love it anyways

Just stumbled across a version of Diddy Wah Diddy that I really liked...



Ashley Dow (guitar/vocals) came up briefly in a search, so I'm sure some o' y'all know this guy already.  Great player.

[waxwing]

Nice. And I'm gonna steal more washboard licks than guitar licks.-G-

Haven't heard of Ashley Dow. Have to Google him.

All for now.
