indicated there were only 2 or 3 known videos of Little Walter known 
to exist?  Well, there's at least one now out on youtube!

Simply amazing...  Would be nice if there were more vids of his 
playing.  He was great even as the sideman!
Jam On!

True enough -- there is precious little of Little Walter on video. 
The only clips that seem to have survived are from the American Folk 
Blues Festival TV appearance -- the sideman stuff with both Hound Dog 
Taylor and Koko Taylor.

By the way, here's the Koko/LW stuff, also on youtube:

There are other clips out there somewhere. We know that he appeared 
on the British TV show "Ready, Steady , Go" on Sept 25, 1964 and 
lip-synched "My Babe," but the footage has never surfaced.  In 
addition he is supposed to have played (or lip-synched) "My Babe" and 
"Juke" on the UK TV show "Beat Room" in Oct of '64, but again, the 
footage hasn't surfaced.

In any event, it's nice to see a bit of him here, even though he 
really doesn't have the chance to step out.

cheers to all and Happy Thanksgiving,
Tom Ball
