"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
Goree Carter, in a performance that represents an example of the transition from post-war R&B to early rock & roll.
He's got it all, also on 1949's "Rock Awhile" where has some simple Chuck Berry-type licks, sorry Mr Berry (and Ike Turner) I just found your predecessor. How did I not hear of Goree till you posted this Paco?
And in 1950 he was drafted and sent off to Korea for a year. Tough times. Gave music away to work in the rice mill rest of his life.

I posted Rock Awhile sometime last year, I think. Killer tune.
