I had the LP back in the early 1970s but it wasn't a 2 LP, just 1 LP. <br /><br />"Boogie At Midnight" was often heard blasting at full volume through my house.Bob Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442196008415681791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-71154862106197199902016-03-24T00:29:52.524+00:002016-03-24T00:29:52.524+00:00Thanks Daddy Cool, I'll root around for more S...Thanks Daddy Cool, I'll root around for more Saxophonograph. The Bruyninckx discography has Boogie Woogie Woman and Dig It as being recorded at Joe's first LA session for Modern along with Blowin' Crazy, Goin' Crazy and Sentimental Journey. He also lists an unissued version of Boogie Woogie Woman as having been previously recorded in Houston for Macy's. I have no idea how reliable that info is however.<br /><br />It took me several weeks to get my head round the complications surrounding the Imperial sides! All of which shows why I was content with giving the issue details once I checked them in Billboard but steered well clear of trying to work out where and when the recordings were made. I leave that to people who are better qualified than myself.<br /><br />Joe's discography is much more complicated than the devilishly convoluted Schleswig- Holstein problem in 19th century diplomacy.<br />boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-56426809663476105982016-03-23T23:52:56.700+00:002016-03-23T23:52:56.700+00:00Thanks for more from the Mr. R&B catalogue - a...Thanks for more from the Mr. R&B catalogue - always welcome.<br />You may be interested to note that contrary to sleeve notes BOOGIE WOOGIE WOMAN and DIG IT are Houston cuts from 1951 - this probably means that the personnel needs rethinking.<br />I keep coming back to Joe's sessionography periodically but with the alternate titles and takes it ain't easy.<br />Keep up the good work and more Saxophonograph please.Daddy Coolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771906137785438416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-57249079628391680522016-03-23T14:29:06.034+00:002016-03-23T14:29:06.034+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-45886167673018889892016-03-23T14:29:05.367+00:002016-03-23T14:29:05.367+00:00Yes, Bob, we get everywhere!

It all came to light in the comments on the "Hard Luck Blues" post here:<br /><br />http://bebopwinorip.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/roy-brown-hard-luck-blues.html<br /><br />Of particular interest is an obituary from a Cincinnati newspaper sent in by John Clifford who was in the backing band for Roy's BBC session.boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-81528384431738225052016-03-23T06:59:05.776+00:002016-03-23T06:59:05.776+00:00BW.

My family from Bute, your family from Islay, same surname/clan. Total strangers in a bar in Asia but we probably got the same DNA.<br /><br />Scots & Irish, they're all over the world, and dead easy to find in bars in Asia...lolBob Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442196008415681791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-52778071936354119782016-03-22T15:38:01.441+00:002016-03-22T15:38:01.441+00:00Thanks for the comment, Rebecca!

Bob - my father spent a large part of his life in Millport, on the Isle of Cumbrae just a few miles across the water from the Isle of Bute where Rothesay is.
