From 1981.
Confession time: Muddy Waters was going to come to perform at the University where I was going, right around this time (plus or minus a couple years). Me and my friends got tix, naturellement, but he got really sick and couldn't make the gig. He sent a friend to fill in. We all figured that if this guy was a friend of Muddy Waters, then maybe he had some chops.
Yeah, I guess so.
I had no idea of who Cab Calloway was. I was an idiot. But the concert was hotter than a hoochie coocher.
I really like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's version of this as well. But Cab Calloway is the real thing alright.
ReplyDeleteWe had some fabulous talent come to our university, and yes, I am sorry i missed some of those concerts. The student ticket prices were laughably low - what were we thinking at the time?
