And The Boneshakers at their bluesy best:
I trust you are all Boneshakers fans now.
See them if you get the opportunity. I have, and they are a great show.
Thought you might. I'm not a fit judge, but like the cow I know what I like.":O}
I just took a journey. and learned much about lot of things. I met an old friend for the first time.
I met him though a 1932 rag tag piece of film forever proving his authorship of one of my life's musical lights.
I met Salomon Lindy
Netfilx did the honors. The story of Salomon's song is complex and detailed and long.
and takes us to South Africa where Salomon Lived his entire life in township poverty..
He never saw a dime for a his song that garner close to Twenty million US dollars.
He was the lead singer and leader of Men's choir. and won a small town competition with his song.
Thought a complicated course of events Pete Seeger spotted it among a lot of South African Folk music.
But as it was very African the record company that "claimed" rights to Salomon's song hired Mr Weiss a song writer of some repute to add melody and Lyrics. The whole world attests to the job he did.
But Salomon never heard it Salmon was never paid a dime.
The Doc revolves around a South African (White) writer who spent decades trying to get Salomon's Hairs (4 daughters now old and as impoverishes as Salomon had been) The rights and money due to them.
Now I'll post a song you grew up with and no doubt sang along with
Say thank you Salomon for the ultimate one hit wonder.
Because your a stubborn old man who drinks his whisky thought a straw...
