Thrill of my life, I was a young harmonica player and was at a concert in Cleveland Ohio, smiling dog saloon. During the break I had the opportunity to play for Sonny. He pulled me toward him and said " let me hear what you got"! I played Po, Boy intro. I was so overwhelmed and my hands were soaking wet. After I was done he said "good job" and said " pick up some lower keys and practice bending, it will build up your lungs! He was so right, and so kind to not just blow me off as a nobody. He was an amazing talent! And a great man.

Sonny was my mentor when I first began playing harmonica in the 60's.

Brownie McGhee was the first Blues player I saw in my life, accompanied by a young Kiwi harmonic player, in 1988 in Palmerston North (New Zealand). He was the once who said: "If a Blues player does not sing about Women and Whiskey then you can call him a Politician". It impressed me so much and from that day I love Blues. I made a recording of that great performance in a "Walkman type" cassette recorder. Just 45 minutes because I forgot to turn to the other side, due to the magic of the moment.

yeah.... Brownies voice just got better and better with age. Legend!

Monet, Picasso, DiVinci....This is pure gold. Doesn't get any better. America has been so blessed to call these sons American! Thank you, Jesus!

I've had the Blues in my life for over 60 years now, was lucky to see these two gentleman play this very song live, this is a great memory for me.

I've had the blues in my heart since I was born a sad cracker with soul in my heart.

Saw Sonny and Brownie in the 60's/70's. A true slice of Americana. Sony was, perhaps, the best Blues Harpist in the 20th century if not all time. The man made a Hohner blues harp do back flips in "G". May they R.I.P.

I heard these guys from an old album I found in a junk shop in my home town London, UK. Consequently I've playing guitar and singing (badly) for 37 years since that day.

My greatest blues inspiration was these two Gentlemens....And since then I have played on my Harmonica. Thank you for sharing.

My first Blues LP 50 years ago was Sonny Terry & Brownie Mc Ghee

I saw these guys so many times they would recognize my group

Walking on with u my friend! Our path will certainly cross at some point! ;) Love & blessings! 🥰

Brilliant stuff! When I whatch this i actually feel sorry for todays "music".

Blues doesn't get any better than this!!

Oh my God, this song might be one of the first I listen to from those two legendary friends and musicians. I was 8- 9 years old. This is magic to heart and soul

A true piece of Americana...ass-kickin' southern blues!

Saw these fellers in the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England in the late 1950s. One of Chris Barber's tours on which he introduced us to great US talents like these. Great memory. I was about 14 and it's stayed with me. Happy days.

I saw them at the Sydney Town hall in about 1976. There were only seats there, but after about 10 seconds of the first song the entire hall was dancing. I have never seen such a reaction to any other music since then. Good performances are what music is all about and, while this studio or any other form of recorded music is fine, there are some musicians that make the difference between recorded and live music absurd. The blues formed the majority of modern music and these two were original. The beginning of the end of the blues.

This is the real deal . I absolutely love this blues

As they say, when they made these guys they broke the mold.

I have several of their recordings but to me it is sad that I missed seeing these 2 great artists live. I love their music.

Indefectibly engraved in my soul

Partied with them about 1960-61. Sonny in a living room...wonderful

Saw these guys at The Crucible in the early 1980s. Best concert I ever attended. It was glorious!!

walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on,

wish these dudes were still around

Thanks for posting...immensely.

Love these guys, I saw them in Montreal, WC in 1968

My masters

Jaw dropping legends. Check out any of their versions of "Hootin' the Blues" or "Whoopin the Blues."

Great, amazing blues!! walk on walk on....

We keep walking on in this bad time.

Brownie McGhee is one of the early pioneers of Blues, before BB King. He is super wonderful and I have almost all of his music. Anther great ones are Elmore James, T bone Walker, Robert Johnson, JImmy Reed. Sorry if I forgot someone here, but that is just to name a few. Grea great musicians who influenced a lot of modern blues and Rock musicians such as the stones and Elvis

Walk on (7 X), I say walk on, I'm gonna keep on walking, 'till I find my way back home. Well your mind is worried Your shoes get pinned You don't know where you're going But you do know where you been. Walk on (3 X), I walk on, I'm gonna keep on walking, 'till I find my way back home. I see so many people happy, I can't get used to happiness Maybe it's true, Happiness is nothing for me, I guess. I walk on, Walk on (2 X), I walk on, I'm gonna keep on walking, 'till I find my way back home. Walk on Sonny Boy, Walk on boy Well the world is too wide, Highways are too long, No need of us being together, If we can't get along I walk on Walk on (2 X), I walk on, I'm gonna keep on walking, 'till I find my way back home. I'm gonna keep on walking, 'till I find my way back home.

FAN.TAS.TIC.!!!!!!!!!

Good advice there. As Winston Churchhill commented whilst in the thick of it, "If you're going through hell, keep going."

This is like real music.

amazing!

Meu patrao ai sim e homem de deus agora as dupla de hoje so catrevagem VIU viu viu viu viu viu viu

Favolosi 👍❤️❤️❤️😘

Oh man.

Legends ❤

@bobobekker I'm disabled too. I love to listen to sonny play because I myself play the harmonica. They both did well in the music business to say sonny was partially blind and brownie at some time had polio! Ther're soo awesome!

Show !

Montreal, QC Canada

Lucky indeed! The shame of it is, that The Crucible was only about one third full, and the two guys had obviously fallen out as they played facing away from each other. "Baby Please Don't Go" was the highlight. As slow as a Debenhams escalator and truly magnificent.

Yous ROCK!!

love it x

@bobobekker it's amazing the sounds you can make with household tools such as wooden spoons and bottles! It's been great talking to you! speak soon CM.

Gaitolândia was here #alwayswiththegoodandoldharmonica #14 Gaitolândia esteve aqui #semprecomaboaevelhagaita

@bobobekker Ohh wow! that sounds fantastic! Thanks for telling me the key of the harmonica, I just wondered because I admire the way Sonny plays.

How could you put dislike to this song theres some unedgercated people out there

gold

🎵❤️🎶

@bobobekker I believe you my friend, They started in the 1940's soo I'm not suprised that Sonny used a whiskey bottle to create his sounds

@ChippyMcBeal Most of the time he took C or E just what his temper was my brother and I travelled with them through the Netherlands and sometimes it was a hard road to ntravel and whe got signatures on our shoes from them for walk on

@ChippyMcBeal It's the truth cross my heart,little walter did also use a glass for the echoes and when I told R.J. Mischo it for a fewe years ago he was stoned and used it and cried like a baby and if you listen to Sonnyboy Williamson (Rice Miller) he used his hand as a cup for the echo

Thanks for the upload! I've been a fan of these guys for a very long time - saw them play live in 1975. Do you know when this video was recorded? ~Bob

can someone tellme if he appears in the movie Angel Heart?

But i do know where ive been

Does anybody know what key harmonica Sonny is playing?

I am French. Who can give me the lirycs of this version? Thank you. It's great !

@ChippyMcBeal listen buddy I'm disabled just as my brother is and sonny was blind for one eya and as a kid he played with a stick and became total blind and brownee had polio and could hardly walk so walk on got his meaning and sonny used most of the time a empty whiskey glass or beer glass for the rar sound and echoes

lucky you

Slide guitar came from Hawaii...

listen the sound with Mr Woody Guthrie ...

!

Cross would be a 4th (or 5th) above the key of the harmonica? E-flat (or F)? Please don't send me to boxes in the garage for Tony Glover's book.

please,anybody write tabs of harmonica:( thnx

what key of harmonica is sonny in?

Hey ChippyMc Beal, I been playing Sonny Terry stuff for 30 yrs. Sonny is using B flat for this tune. It sounds to me like you don't know what you are talking about. He sometimes uses a C harp and never an E harp. I got a huge record collection of Sonny's and I know this for a fact. The glass is a party trick. You ain't no blues Mr know it all. You can fool the uninformed but you can't fool me....

Playing "cross" in the key of E....on a B-flat harp?

Is this video sped up???

These guys were friends with Woody Guthrie,too.

are they dead now? probably right.they are kings of the blues.

@ChippyMcBeal my brother got sick so I'm writing you kow it's overhere now 00h40 in the night.They used just as my daddy two spoons and one in front of their mouth and they other tickin'to it so you get rythym or two wooden sticks and ticking to each other or empty bottle's filled up with water in different level so the sound get's different just giv it a try,so long buddy I go to bed Herman andn Fred Bekker from the Deep Netherlands Europe

google it

They don’t sell no black gas

No sorry, I think it was at the 80's, but I'm not really sure
