Let me tell you about Son House (Documentary) 

In the blues style you have the off beat style where you don’t go by the music you make the music catch up with you the singers telling his story they music is at a slow pace we call this style the off beat or the rare style a classic of it own lane they do it in today’s music the sing off beat and the people love it the people don’t want the same everyday 1980s style on the beat songs anymore 👍💵🤷‍♀️🤷🏽👨🏽‍💻👩🏼‍💻🤔😎

Yea, this is British guy sounds like an ass

Imperfectly perfect I like that

Lucky you are, indeed!

Seriously? I'm from the ghettos of the RoC. Would LOVE TO KNOW were he lived. Point it out to my kids.

Thats what you took away from the interaction???... oof...

​@@YeeThirty agreed, major cringe

And those eyebrows 😊

L P I thought it was an utterly unfair and ill educated hatchet job on house.

Nicely put sir!

Great call!

not really a great musician WTF you are a fool.

I feel you 100% never lost a wife or Gf either lol.

EVERYONE does, brother. All the best and keep listening to the great Son.

Me too!

I feel that one my soul was fell to the floor 🧐🤔👍he did that song letter of death is the one

Then check out Fixin' to die blues by Bukka White.😉

So cool. Your Grandfather was awesome .thank you ...

@@allguitar887 ❤️🙏🏽 thank u for your kind words 🙂

Excellent.. do you have any recordings of your grandfather's playing?

@@frankmirra8243 I wish I did 😞

Most all blacks have a degree of native american.😉

Thanks for that! Cool idea for an 80cm guitar - only trouble is I have a dozen or so Les Paul scale necks, and a guitar made with one of those will be at least 100-120cm long.

Can't add anything much more - they could be photos of the somewhat famous blues player, or photos of other people named William Brown, they could be photos of random guitar players that someone has decided to palm off as Willie Brown photos. It's pretty much impossible to tell - there's a lot less scholarship on Willie Brown than there is on, for example, Robert Johnson.

Phil Davison Yes. I was aware that there is less scholarship, and the area is a grey one, ie: the Willie Brown who played with House and Patton may not have been the same one who recorded with Alan Lomax. Chances are it's not Willie Brown then... Thanks for your help.

I hate to say it as a fan of Son, but Wolf was totally in the right, too. Son was known to take to drink way too much too often. Wolf was not known for that at all. He was a serious musician who believed in giving the best performances he could, and he expected a lot from his band. He also loved his family, and he took great care to show it everyday, a genuine family man. On top of that, he rewarded his band with great pay and even (almost unheard of at the time) benefits. I love Son House's music, but Wolf was a true professional, an awesome musician, and a great man, period.

@@westsidesmitty1 Damn straight! Before he had his auto accident, he would have been a very serious force to reckon with.

When I met him about 15 years ago they said he was shot in the south and that's why he had a horrible limp. Really short guy too. But a good sense of humor.

@@theresewalters1696 15 years ago ? He died in 1988

I'm a huge fan of Son, but it's more complicated than that. As it turns out, when Dick Waterman and his friends finally located Son in the 1960s living in Rochester, NY, Son cheerfully explained that he hadn't played guitar since the 1940s, and he had essentially forgotten how to play. Enter Alan Wilson of the band Canned Heat, who spent quite a bit of time, who was brought in to "show Son House how to play like Son House," as it was put at the time. "Blind Owl" Wilson didn't exactly teach Son how to play, but his help was essential in getting Son to remember all that he had forgotten in those lost decades. Even then, Son didn't play with nearly the speed that he had back in those old recordings of him, especially with the likes of "Preachin' the Blues."

@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I'm amazed there are people here who don't know that story, or they misunderstand, or resent it. Alan Wilson idolised these old blues musicians, he knew their work intimately.

@@KayEl58 100% correct Alan considered it an honor to help one of his main influences, and he fully realized just what a legend Son was. We owe Alan a huge debt of gratitude for what he did giving Son a second act, thereby making it possible for a whole new generation to attend his performances and appreciate the man's contribution to 20th century American music.

@@Gunners_Mate_GunsAlan 'Blind Owl' Wilson and those who inspired him to reach the heights he reached - may they never be forotten. Nice talking to you @PinkOld 😊

@@KayEl58 Right back atcha.

That's what makes a good authentic bluesman!🙈🙉🙊
