    I was blessed to be able to meet and play with Fred in 1971 in Seattle. I prefer his acoustic recordings. Fred was a very upbeat, kind, good-natured person and a real gentleman. As a concert promoter for the Seattle Folklore Society I was blessed to meet so many of the original bluesmen. The Stones recorded his version of "you Got to Move".

      A good friend turned me on to Mississippi Fred McDowell in the early 1970s. This song is on his Capital album called, "I Do Not Play No Rock & Roll," that I bought back then. It was one of two of his albums that I think were released posthumously. The other is called, "Somebody Keeps Calling Me," which was released on the Antilles label in 1976. I bought these vinyl LPs and one other one that was released on the Arhoolie label in 1964, and I'm still enjoying them.

A treasured now gone but never forgotten.... I once saw him and a fellow musician taking dinner at Denny's there in Slidell... only wish I had ask for an autograph. Also love hearing the truly great... black blues harmonic players... A sound one never forgets.

      Might be an old Harmony or Silvertone, not sure. If you showed this video at the right auction today and THAT guitar was up for bid, might go for over $500,000 perhaps! Some original handwritten lyrics written by Lennon or McCartney (or both) have sold for over $1,000,000.

    Thank you Johnny Winter for bringing attention to this great song. If only you could play it like Fred. He’s the master. All other guitarists just wish they had his magic fingers and deep soul.
