Fabulous, Phil.
 
And to tie it to another thread here--if you don't FEEL the groove in  
either of those two songs--aren't moving to that music in some way even if  
you're sitting down, then you're completely hopeless and just might need to be  
'taught' what many people instinctively know as 'the groove'. :)
 
LOVE her and Big Walter's playing here. Will be sure to check out more of  
her music. Much appreciated.

Been studying the guitar work of pioneer gospel (but  really a forerunner 
of rock) guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe and came across a  video of her 
accompanied by Big Walter Horton with the Chicago Blues  Allstars.


It's identified as "That's All" but also includes her  famous "Didn't It 
Rain." 


What's worth listening to on the medley is  the tasteful harp work 
throughout.

Rosette  was not the first to record This Train but had a hit with it in 
1939 and  recorded it again in 1950.


It was the basis for Little Walter"s 1955  famous "My Babe."
