Blues & Rhythm !



In February of 1952, the Bihari brothers who originated Modern Music Records (later Modern) and also would launch RPM, Meteor, Flair, and Kent labels, started a new label that would concentrate on recording blues tunes from the deep south = Blues & Rhythm Records. Among the original musicians signed to the label are Charles Booker and Brother Bell.
Suddenly in October of 1952 the Biharis decide to shut down Blues & Rhythm Records and concentrate on their Modern and RPM labels.
And so ends the short history of another small independent label !

Charley Booker:
* Charlie's Boogie Woogie *
* Rabbit Blues *

Charley Booker:
* Whole Heap Of Mama *
* If You Feel Froggish *

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/
