[Harp-L] Nat (was Cannonball) Adderly's Work Song



Actually Nat first produced Work Song in I think 1960, and the following year Oscar Brown Jr. independently wrote those great lyrics to it, as he did with many other classic jazz (and other) numbers.  A couple of real geniuses!  Harp Content: I massacre that song as though I'm swinging a twelve pound sledge against a granite block, whenever I get the chance to play it!
