Re: [Harp-L] sonny boy williamson I

Hi, that would be Sonny Boy 1 with Good Morning Little School Girl.
 
John Lee Williamson, aka Sonny Boy 1, the original Sonny Boy, can give a  
lifetime of lessons on his CDs. His rhythm patterns and turnarounds are a  
wealth of musical ideas. The Grand Pappy of modern harmonica, IMHO.
His Document, and I think Bluebird recordings are your best bet. Some of  
his stuff out there is of very poor recording quality, so you have to be a  
little careful with what you buy. The first time I heard him on the radio, I 
was  floored with his rich warm voice and harmonica accompaniment. I can  
remember the  impression he made on me like it was just  yesterday.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Chris Mastakas,
