The more Sonny Boy II the better...<br />Many blessings on ya, great job always my friend..<br />When I did the blues Delta tour on my own 10 day tour I drove deep in to the Delta South and thru cornfields and there it was The Man's tomb stone off a side of the road grave yard...<br />I stayed a good while... On the way home, off Highway 61 <br />I pulled off, to the left bridge bringing me to the small downward town a across the bridge in Arkansas, and found the block and address where the great man died penniless ... the building was practically down, close to a lot... Now they hold a blues festival in that small town... also a great Sonnyboy II exhibit the Clarksdale, MS Museum by the bus depot where Muddy, and so many others departed town for Chicago!<br />One amazinr=e thing after another... well worth your time and drive!Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229961605342391639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-9983491726075471762011-11-06T23:40:06.797+00:002011-11-06T23:40:06.797+00:00Thans for the comments, folks.

We had a small portable system which we called a 'pickup', bought possibly at a Woolworth's store here in Montréal.<br />It sure wasn't high-fidelity but that was then and it didn't matter. The music was the point.<br />Hey! Thanks for all the work, it is much appreciated.<br />ralph11Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-87017673816587817362011-11-02T23:54:35.294+00:002011-11-02T23:54:35.294+00:00What a great record!

From the opening harmonica through to the end of both sides, Sonny Boy's first Checker single is as good as it gets: terrific vocals, a couple fine harmonica solos each, Muddy's band is cookin', especially Spann and Below on "All My Love In Vain" and even though we've all heard these two songs a million times, from singles to LPs to CDs, there's just something about a little surface noise to really put things right.<br /><br />(I once had possession of Sonny Boy's Trumpet 78 of "Mighty Long Time"/"Nine Below Zero" and it had a crack from outer rim to label, and on the "Zero" side there was a pit almost 1/8" in diameter and 1/16" deep and at 78 rpm the tone arm just flew right over that hole and never skipped a note!)The Subliminal Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054503186850082164noreply@blogger.com
