Rocking Pneumonia & the Boogie Woogie Flu Part 1
Huey ‘Piano’ Smith and The Clowns (1957) Rocking Pneumonia & the Boogie Woogie Flu Part 1 earned a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock & Roll; the flip side of the Ace Records 45rpm, RP & the BWF Part 2, did not.
In 1944 at the age of 15, Huey Smith began working in clubs around New Orleans and recording with partner Eddie Jones (later known as Guitar Slim). By 1955 he was a session musician, playing piano for Little Richard, Lloyd Price, Earl King and others. Smith’s mix of boogie woogie, blues and jazz piano styles became the sound of New Orleans.

Jimmy Vivino (aka Jimmy V) has always considered himself ‘a blues man with a job’. Although best known for serving 26 years as Conan O’Brien’s musical director, guitarist and bandleader, his experience in the music business predates that by 20 plus years.” – YouTube

Julian Sas : “I was born and raised in the Centre of The Netherlands in 1970 and grew up In a small town and had a normal childhood… The first years I spent my life living on a boat on the river. In fact I was born on that river.”  His website cover photo is quite Kinison-esque.
