Sounds like genius to me.
Yup. Sounds that way to me, too.
I miss you so much Little Brother, We Love you, Chuck & Betsy
I miss you too Barrelhouse!
I think of you every day, Chuck! Play well!
I just love him!~ I had the thrill and pleasure of meeting him in Chicago in the 70s!~ He opened for us and sounded just great!~After his set I told him what a fan I was was~He was so sweet, and gave me a handwritten copy of a song he'd written, suggesting I record it!~ Lord I wish I had that big old piece of yellow paper with his cool song on it now!~He was truly one of the greats!~I still listen to him all the time!~
A hundred years ago, Eurreal left Ferriday during a flood. He had stayed there for about two years at Henderson's Royal Garden, 'a room and a board'. He allegedly worked on the rudiments of this blues tune with Long Tall Friday and Dehlco Robert whilst in Ferriday. He also played for Sam Filmore - a pianist himself - in Willetts, a nearby sawmill town. Filmore later lived in Ferriday and was remembered by Jimmy Lee Swaggart, who claimed that he and Jerry Lee Lewis would observe him 'many tines'. Ferriday had 5 sawmills running in the 1920s, and had railroads coming in from four directions. Not to mention the train ferry to Natchez which connected with the Y&MV as well as the Mississippi Central RR to Hattiesburg.
Buster Pickens visited Ferriday as well. This was all decades before Haney's Big House was opened.
In VERY loving memory of Mr. Eurreal Wilford Montgomery (1906 - 1985 R.I.P. // Gone but NOT forgotten).

On a bootleg album of Dylan's he does a song, Tiny Montgomery....wonder if there's a connection? Love this video.
Masterly singing and piano playing. Mulberry Strret, Clay Street, Walnut Street, Vine Street - they're all still there in Vicksburg, but I bet they've changed since he wrote this back in the 1920s. Here's what I make of the lyrics:
"Now when I went down Mulberry, boys, and I turned up Clay,
Now when I went down Mulberry, hey boys, and I turned up Clay,
I was looking for my baby, but she had moved away.
"Some say she moved round on Walnut, well, and some say she moved out on Vine,
Some say she moved round on Walnut, and some say she moved out on Vine,
Now wherever she wills, partner, she’s resting on my mind.
(20 bars Piano solo)
Now wherever she wills, partner, she’s resting on my mind.
"Now just as soon as the train, mama, well, make up in the yard,
Now just as soon as the train, mama, honey, make up in the yard,
Now I’m Vicksburg, boys, bound, that’s if the police don’t have me barred."
Those southern cities retain a surprisingly original identity. Much of the "progress" seen in the North passed them by. You can go on Google maps and see that much of the housing stock is from the time period of the original song
I got the last line wrong. It should be:
"Now I'm Vicksburg, boys, bound, that's if the bulls they don't have me barred".
More or less the same last verse as Little Brother Mongomery's "Out West Blues", recorded in 1936
@@BryanWoy Yeah,he's referring to the Railroad "Bulls" the special police who stopped the hobo's from riding the trains.
Oh my didn't expect this
Una version muy pora y autentica del blues tradicional
Happy Birthday Little Brother Montgomery🎂🍾

That's it.
His voice almost resembles a later Sam Chatmon's voice, or maybe I'm crazy.
Steve Murdock That's right
HE COULD HAVE BEEN A SHEIK!
:-)
5 don't like it :/ Fuckin Deaf
fairly awful..if you taught yourself to play ( like I did) you might sound like this when you're 20 ( like I did). Everybody's got to be someplace. It's a law.
