This week on BBS
– OMG two/too big features! Back in the 1970s/ &80s I used to go
out to eat with Bob Koester and his wife Sue. We often ate at a local Italian
restaurant Biasetti’s. There, each weekend a
black senior sat behind the restaurant bar playing keyboards and leading the
local dipsomaniacs in sing-alongs handing out party hats and noise-makers. I
was surprised to learn that the keyboard player, Lonnie Simmons had recorded for
Al Benson’s Parrot Label in the 1950s, double-tracking on both tenor
and organ. It came as even more of a surprise to learn this same man had
recorded as a respected reed man back in the late 1930s and 40s as Sammy
Simmons with artists like Al Kooper’s Savoy
Sultans, Hot Lips Page and Ella Fitzgerald. We’ll spin the Parrot sides
and then dig to find the prewar Jazz sides. It’s only one of many
footnotes to the music’s history but it’s what we do best.
Don’t miss it! And then we spend Hour #3 with the Buddy System.
We’ll listen to sides that used the word “Buddy” in the
title, and sides by artists names “Buddy” and finally listen to
sides by artists that recorded as “Fill-in-the-blank’s
Buddy” – Leroy’s Buddy, Peetie’s
Buddy, Dr Clayton’s Buddy, Blind Lemon’s Buddy, etc It’s our tribute to the Buddy System and just
another way to listen to great and curious vintage recordings. Why not listen
in? Only on BBS! |

This week on Blues Before Sunrise BBS
AMERICA catches up on their sleep as we spin the final recordings of Classic
Blues Singer Mamie Smith. The woman who blazed the trail into the recording
studio for African-American performers wraps up a recording career with a
late pair of studio sessions augmented by a handful of film performances. OMG
– the palpitations start at the simple mention of this adrenalin-laced
feature! Actually when everybody else was trying to
score Paramounts I was buying Mamie Smiths for $3
& $4. All the sides I’ll play this weekend are from her final
volume on the Document series. Only on BBS! |
