Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things - Big Bill Broonzy
john - it's Elder Greene Blues. The youtube link displays the title of the video, which is why I never bother in the post... maybe that's a browser and OS specific behavior, though...
youtube allows me to extract the mp4 file, and then I converted it to mp3 to bring the file size down. It's still about 4MB, so it'll take a few minutes on dialup, but not the week and a half that a video will need:
Thanks very much for posting the non-visual version, Frank. That really does sound great--you've got some powerhouse time-keeping going on there, and the occasional places where Kim and Sam are doing high tremolos simultaneously are kind of hair-raising. Very strong singing, too, just happening in every way! All best, Johnm
The tune is called "Kitty Puss" and it's from a fiddler named Buddy Thomas. He's a great old-time fiddler... one of Kim and my favorites, anyway. He had a tough life, but everybody I know that knew him recalls him fondly.
