My Dad pass away in November if 2023 and looking this giving me sweet remembering of him play the guitar 🎸 😢he use to play like this!!!! And he play in gospel quartet music gospel. The name of the group was called the Cumberland Rivers in the other group he used to play with was called Slim and The Morning Echoes. He had a special way of playing his guitars he was like an old style playing the Blues I'm listening to how to use the play is guitar in I'm thinking now that he used to play it just like the blues players but I believe he told me that somebody when he was younger talking about to play a good time when he was younger and the way he played it is like John Lee Hooker. That's how my father used to play the guitar when I was growing up . I remember when we used to go to my uncle's house and he used to have cookouts at his house. The kids have to go down in the basement in a grown-ups be upstairs. And they used to play the blues all night long. And when my cousin was asleep they used to wake him up to see him dancing to the funky chicken or whatever it was crazy they are working out of his sleep and they would brag about their son know how to dance and they will wake him out of his sleep to make him dance do funky chicken or whatever it was crazy . Now Father's Day is coming up and I feel some type of way.😢 but listening to the Blues bring black good memories of my father.😢😢😢😢😢

Lonnie was my first houseguest in London Ontario ( I bought a nice yellow brick home at 177 Central Av in 1966 $ 13,000 bucks) I think it was 1968 and Lonnie was the darling of the folk music set in Toronto. He was playing a very odd gig at a fleabitten old country/Western Bar. The audience was very unsure of what was happening on stage as Lonnie obviously had nothing in his repetoire to suit their tastes. The closest he could come was a number called "My Mother's Arms" (which he performed in every other set,I think. Noone there had any idea that this fellow was a living legend of the Jazz Guitar,having virtually invented it along with his friend Eddie Lang. Lonnie played with The Duke way back in '27

He recorded With Louis Armstrong in the twenties, toured with Bessie Smith and a lot of other stars, influenced Django, Charlie Christian, T-bne Walker, Robert Johnson... in his early records Elvis Presley imitated his way of singing and took a lot of his gestures, inflections, vibrato...

Lonnie Johnson was not only a virtuoso guitar player, who could play blues, ballads, and Jazz, but he was a wonderful singer. What a great voice! Notice that the many clips from this broadcast have the great Willie Dixon playing bass with most of these performers.

Pictures of either drummer do not look like the guy in the video. But his sunglasses make it hard to match him, plus he is only shown in profile.

Alonzo Johnson AKA Lonnie Johnson: 2/8/1899 - With a career that spanned nearly fifty years, this pioneer guitarist, as well as singer, songwriter, and violinist, revolutionized the role of the guitar in both the genres of jazz and the blues. His music marked the beginning of an unprecidented style of single-note soloing which used string bending and vibrato when he first began recording in 1925. He worked with a number of the greatest musicians of his time, performing with Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith, and Louis Armstrong. Django Reinhardt, T-Bone Walker, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and even Robert Johnson drew inspiration from this genius of a guitarist.

Lonnie Johnson was a true maestro and a peerless gentleman, for whom clarity was everything. Observe the guitar licks, sharp and clean as a straight razor, and his precise enunciation. He wasn't a howler or jive-talker. He was a stylist to the bone, and would not pander to any audience.
