Corn Whiskey !




Vocalist and bassist, born in Gurdon, Arkansas in 1923, Jimmy Witherspoon sang in church from the time he was five. In 1944 he joined the Jay McShann Band for four years, and then on his own he unleashed "Ain't Nobody's Business," acknowledged to be a classic performance. One of the great blues singers of the post-World War II period, he was also versatile enough to fit comfortably into the jazz world. Witherspoon passed away on September 18, 1997, at the age of 74.

Wicked Pickett and Otis are my fave soul shouters who actually got the acclaim they deserved...sad that both have left the planet...

What would my life be like without "midnight hour" or "land of 1000 dances"?

Wilson Pickett and Tony Franciosa, who both passed away this week, had something else in common. See this.

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/
