When Sonny and Brownie played solo, they were great. But when they played together, they were immortal. And I'm sure in heaven somewhere, they are entertaining crowds right now as I write this. Truth is, no matter what happens in this world, they are together forever and their music will live on forever as well.

Well ... from what I understand of their relationship, being together forever would be hell for both of them, not heaven ... !

My favourite blues duo. All great duos clashed at times which makes their music forever great

@@tangitakie8969 Well, from everything I've heard, it was much more than "at times" for these two - sadly, they seemed to reach a point where they could barely stand each other.

@maplebones Жыл бұрын

@@nozecone Gossip about their personal lives abounds but is quite irrelevant. I was fortunate to have seen them play many times in small cafes. The music they made together was magical and deeply moving. 50 years later, all I need is to hear a few bars and the feeling's still there.

I took guitar lessons from Brownie back in the seventies; they couldn't stand each other lol

I was lucky enough to see them in a tiny private club in Montreal around 1962. sat a few feet away from them and was in heaven. A happy memory.

The Yellow Door on Sherbrook St ? I was attending College Prep Academy in some run down apts above the cafe, and could sneak in the back door. I saw Sunny and Brownie many times there. Also Joni Mitchell and Neil young before they were known. It was the late 60's. I remember another place, maybe The Back Door on Stanley ? That was earlier. I was in 10th grade and had to sneak out . I think I saw a very young John Hammond and definitely Bruce Murdoch there. Thanks for taking me back.

Was fortunate enough to have Brownie McGhee (RIP) in Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, but sadly had to go to work and never got to take his Blues class, but did get to know this great man in English class. 😇🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤

They are priceless. First heard Sony in early seventies and had a folkways LP with him alone. That sound is deep in my soul. At the heart of American music.

I"m simply fascinated with these two. Always have been. I love to ask people who saw them or traveled with them what they were like. I'm over on my Chanel playing my own songs. Different than the country blues most of the time, but these two are deep influences to me. Them and Woody G. of course. Tim E. in Tennessee

I was also so surprised to note they weren't speaking to one another coming & going from a small nightclub performance I attended. But I did manage to get their autographs on the same piece of paper (Sonny, just his initials!)

Sonny Terry is my soul uncle. I play harp in a bluegrass string band.

@pauleandersonmusic 11 жыл бұрын

Sonny's pretty much my favorite...He's great on Guthrie's "Lost John" and everything else. Brownie's playing in F on the first one, so Sonny's cross-harping (inhaling, or "drawing", on the 4th scale note up) on a B flat harp...so good. Basically, just figure out what key the guitarist is in and play the 4th above it an inhale a lot. So, A blues: use a D harp, E blues: use an A harp, etc...
