Wyman claims that Big Bill learned guitar from Papa Charlie jackson. Can anybody confirm this? I've never heard that before, or i've shed those brain cells.

Wyman claims that Big Bill learned guitar from Papa Charlie jackson. Can anybody confirm this? I've never heard that before, or i've shed those brain cells.

On page 32 of Wyman's 'Blues Odyssey' tome (2001) he has another slant on it:

"He [Jackson] inspired Big Bill Broonzy and the two men recorded together in 1935, but none of these sides were released".

Learning guitar from, and being inspired by, are somewhat different Mr Wyman.

Frank Fairfield - has he been mentioned here?  I only saw a peripheral mention in the performance threads.

This is the first part, view first.

Thanks for sharing that Mr. O'M. You can't beat a bit of Fred at any time, but especially on a Saturday afternoon when you're supposed to be doing a bit of housework.

Fantastic!  And so nonchalant...

[maddoggirl]

Browsing and I hit upon this rather talented chap who plays and sings Blind Lemon as though it were about the easiest thing in the world. Astounding.

[Mr.OMuck]

Lindy, thats one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life. Her left hand dance is just unbelievable! Backflips!
And Madogirl, that Chap doing Crawlin' Baby Blues is our own Frank Basile a heavy duty Weenie contributor and mainstay. Great player and singer!

Ooh, I had no idea! I thought it would probably have appeared on this thread before, but I was so thrilled that I didn't have the patience to check. Wow, nice to know he's around these parts - those of us with no musical inclinations need him to balance us out

Magic!

Madogirl go to his website http://www.donegone.net there's lots more very varied and enthralling. If he ever tours the UK I'll be first in line.

I don't think so, Alan - you'll be in the queue behind me!

And ditto your comments about Frankie's website which is a charming place to visit in cyberspace.
