I saw Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee perform in Toronto around 1979. During a break, I was able to meet Sonny and I asked him to play on my tiny 2 inch harmonica that I wore on a chain or necklace. He played “When the Saints go Marching in” on my tiny harmonica. Thanks for sharing this great video. It brings back fond memories for me. I was 22 years old at the time. Now I’m 65.
Loved seeing Sonny Terry with Brownie McGee saw many a good show with these two. I sought of loved the way the verbally fought over who was taking the lead etc. Too bad there was those angry moments. Each was one of a kind. Brownie was nice enough to sit down with my sister and play piano for her; then she played piano for HIM, as she was classically trained. What a pair. Brownie had the cleanest sound I ever heard, and his Martin was just gorgeous sounding. Miss those guys really.
This is great, I mean truly great...!!!! I had a recording of this song many years ago, but lost it. Now I can listen to it however many times I want. Thank you...!
There is a blues documentary called I woke up this morning and in it it showed Sonny and Brownie on the street performing and they both are young but the documentary says that Brownie is Big Bill Broonzy anyway its great footage
What harmonica key is this? I know it's a low tuned harmonica, but I only have a Low A and a Low F, I can't tell for sure! Kinda sounds my Low F Plus this is super cool to see and hear Sonny play with a Low Tuned harp!
So he was the originator of this. Her tune freestyle with this harmonica. It's another guy that I guess he's honoring him but he's on stage during that. He tried to speed it up a little bit but a lot of things that this guy's doing the creator of this that guy's not doing. I guess he tried to make it his own and redo it but I like this version better. This old man is killing it. I got my harmonica practicing right now. I used to listen to the other guy but I found out just a slow couple of minutes ago that he wasn't the creator of it. So I got to follow the teacher
Let's get it on before it all be gone 😮 Straight from the Georgia woods
