...in a car wreck in a little town called Mound Bayou Miss. I was visiting my mother. I drove 700 miles from Chicago. I was okay but on the return I fell asleep at the wheel. I was playing again the next day though. I never gave up. It cut my arm clean off and left it in the highway. Then I walked 2.5 miles to a girlfriend and picked up my arm and brought it on to Clarksdale. When the ambulance men come with stretchers, I was in bed smoking, so I drove back in front with the guys. I was in hospital for three days only. For a while I still had pain at night. As you know, fever rises at night and that's how it was - Big John Wrencher on losing his arm

Two Abbreviated Broonzys
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:31:52 AM »
In concert with the Broonzy biography Discussion, here are two Big Bill songs I threw down on my I-phone at the spur of the moment, hence the missing verses

Willy Mae art by Romare Bearden


Just a Dream art by Henri Rousseau (sleeping Gypsy)

I especially like that "Willie Mae", Phil, and very much admire the way your singing calls all the shots in terms of your phrasing.  That is really cool.
All best,
Johnm

It sounds like you really know Willie Mae, Phil!  ;)

Well done as always, Mr. O'--solid and expressive playing and singing--and very enjoyable.

Two really nice performances, O'Muck. 

On your  iPhone, eh?  What software?  Did you use an external mic?

Really enjoyed both songs, mightily impressed by the sound quality you get from an (apparently) simple set up - but of course the playing and singing had to be of good quality first to achieve this, and it was!
Thanks for posting them!
