It's Black Bob's uncle er relative.

BINGO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is funny....

Little Johnny....YUCK...I hate buttermilk
mom....then why drink it Little Johnny?
Little Johnny....ah...hmmm?

Not hurting anyone? He linked to a thread that I started on the media board that only got one reply. I’ve spent the last 6 months begging AustinChief and the rest of the mods to delete it because it was such a humiliating experience. I’ve been suffering from a perpetual bout of depression and numerous anxiety attacks. And then this guy bumps it for the world to see. I can hardly breathe.

And to top it all off, this guy has thread after thread of golden insights. With everyone replying.

We all know thread responses are the only currency that matters in the real world.

He hurt my feelings. :-(

Now that he isn’t obsessing about race in every post, this is pretty much where I’m at... also don’t believe he is Coop or a mult

Just a strange bird, and we have plenty of those here already... so anyway Ubeja, if you had to pick only one old blues song to represent the entire genre, what would it be and please post it in this thread

I confess, I don't take internet chatter all that serious, and love this being a heel bit with that neg rep, it's funny.

But.....if I really did hurt any feelings, I;m sorry.

That simply cannot be done.

We have prewar and postwar.

The regions...

Texas
St.Louis
Memphis
Mississippi Delta
Alabama
Georgia
The Piedmont
Louisiana

Piano Blues
The Jug Bands
Classic Blues (female vocalist with a band)
Urban Blues
Country Blues
Chicago Electric Blues
Acoustic guitar Blues
Harmonica Blues

I will say this, you do start at the beginning which wouldne Mamie Smiths "Crazy Blues" 1920, no not the best example but it is the first.

Pre-war Louisiana

As you know Jazz pretty much ruled New Orleans back in the day, so them blues wasn't as big as it was everywhere else.

But....the very first male blues cat of any merit was Papa Charley Jackson who recorded in 1924, he was a banjo player/singer.

King Solomon Hill, Oscar Woods, Jimmie Davis white Governor, Blind Willie Reynolds (his Outside Woman Blues covered by The Cream) Jesse Thomas about it. Lead Belly and Memphis Minnie were born there but didn't record there, they moved to Texas and yep...Memphis.

Then there was Richard "Rabbit Brown" and his masterpiece "James Alley Blues" this is a blues iconic tune, a legendary song and one of the great listens in all of them blues.

What part of California do you live in Ubeja

I started out in Vallejo in the Bay Area, around 6 we moved to Visalia, I grew up there, now I live in Porterville about 30 miles east of there. My wife from there.

I’d never heard of Rabbit Brown until now, that was cool

Yeah, Ube is no mult. I bet the mult-detecting guru SR would agree.

He passed the "your and idiot" challenge.

Not to mention you can find ‘Ubeja’ posts on different track forums from years past. Written with a similar-ish voice. He’s not nearly as aggressive and obnoxious as he is on here where I truly think he’s trolling for kicks (and doing it well), but I doubt he’s a mult.

Bummer is like so many of these prewar guys he only had a few records, thinking three.

This is Rube Lacy, who only recorded one record, this is the best example of prewar Mississippi Delta blues on record, a true classic.

He turned to religion dumping them blues, He became a preacher, and.....moved out here to Bakersfield, about a 45 minute drive from where I'm sitting. I was going to go find him and see if he'd sign a blues book I own (one of 12) but before I got around to it, he died.:huh:
