Rod Piazza sometime before Honey joined his band on piano. I always love players who have trademark gimmicks, like Honey pounding the keys with her feet, Or like Rod at the Sioux Falls Jazzfest about 2010 climbing the South Dakota public television camera scaffold to the platfrom about 30 feet up while blowing his harp to finish the song from on high. That feat should be on You Tube. Rod and crew were the opener for that fest and stole the whole 3-day show for me.

True- that was new and another reason why this clip is remarkable- it’s historic in it’s innocent integrationist way. It’s also a rare network showing of blues on network TV -especially in the 1960s!

@@AndrewVOdom so true but it may be the ONLY blues showcase on American TV & at a time when there may have been no more than 6-7 stations on TV anywhere. the sponsors nipped it in the bud probably...times will never be that way again, I suspect.

slick that hair down Rod

@brachashighhopeshomestead226 10 ай бұрын

there were few hair products in those times or was it as sophisticated anywhere near what it is today. Remember all the afros & people like Michael Bloomfield- they had no time for hair control, lol! but they eventually figured it out. but it's fun to see the reality of those times in the mid-late 60's. nothing was honed yet, everything was a new revelation & freedom.

Cotton ok, Luther Tucker was a genius but you wouldn't know it. Rod Piazza unbelievably young., and good! Otherwise, this is a ghastly production that was faked with an implausible bunch of dancers, especially the square blonde.

@@Vodichka9 I mostly agree about Piazza (and he was on his way already)but I was referring to Cotton and Tucker, who are relatively under-documented so any footage of them in their relative youth (& color to boot) is welcome! And it’s a period piece, so the dancers add a campy “Batman ‘66” aspect.. Besides, to this day blues clubs often do have people dancing, as hammy as it can be. I have no problem with the clip! 😎👍 P. S. Such integration of races (on the stage & especially the dance floor was -believe it or not -very new to network TV!
