Crawdad Blues, Benny Moten & His Kansas City Orchestra (1923) BTW, the original file name was “crawdadd_64kb.” I guessed the band and song name correctly, but missed the date by three years. TRUE.

Saturday Matinee – Bendito Machine IV, Görkem Şen, Luna Lee & Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Soundcheck
Saturday, 8 August 2020Very cool oddness. Bendito Machine is a series, and this is No. 6. You are allowed to start from the beginning with Bendito Machine I.
“Yaybahar is an electric-free, totally acoustic instrument designed by Görkem Şen. The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound by the membranes which echo back and forth on the coiled springs. This results in an unique listening experience with an hypnotic surround sound.”
Luna Lee plays ZZ Top’s La Grange on a Gayageum and it works. Her story and more here.
“You know when a long haired dude shows up in a cowboy hat, leopard spotted duster and rattle snake boots some shit is about to go down.”
Name another bluesman whose video of a soundcheck garners 19.4 million views. Having just woken up, he yawns, flicks a booger and then busts it out. Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of a kind.
Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see what happens tomorrow.
