ReplyDeleteEnjoy Concha!
DeleteCheers Patrick!
DeleteI posted a message yesterday, but I think it disappeared into the void.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, really enjoy the Pre-War stuff. Scott Dubar sounds like he's having a good time recording Memphis Mail.
And, is that a hair-comb wax paper intro on Cripple Creek & Sourwood Mountain.
Hi Moezeke, yes it's weird how messages sometimes don't appear, it happens to me as well on some blogs. Anyway, glad you enjoy it. I'll have another listen later to that track and see if I can identify the intro.
Deletehere we are Mr Mac...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rgo_4F5dHg
DeleteMoezeke, yes but it may well me a kazoo, I'm traveling at the present time, I'll have another listen to the track in question soon. 👍
DeleteThere's a kazoo and a jug. I listened to the track then looked up the session details. I'm not sure that any early country bluesmen actually used a comb and paper, especially as kazoos and jugs were so common. Anyway, always good to learn these things, so thanks for pointing it out. 👍
DeleteHey Mr Mac...
DeleteWhen I was a young kid (pre teens) we used this kind of improvisation of the kazoo. In fact kazoo's were hard to came by. And any kid wouldn't waste their money on a kazoo anyway, when they could buy a soda or ice cream. After woulds they could whip out their small plastic pocket comb (all the young lads had greasy pompadour haircuts) and small piece of paper and play a few bars of The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze.
Also, I vaguely remember my Dad buying me a small yellow Ocarina which they used to call a Sweet Potato at the Drug Store... where they also sold crystal sugar candy. Dating myself!
But... Cripple Creek & Sourwood Mountain is a hoot, regardless.
Hi Moezeke, in Australia where I grew up many kids also played the comb and paper, also some used gum leaves for much the same effect. Anyway, glad you enjoyed that rare track, and thanks for your interesting comments.
