I was this man's guitarist off-and-on for about 30 years. He was as sharp and quick witted at 87, as he was at 27. He was an amazing man, of whom every person that met him fell instantly in love with him. He was truly special as a musician, blues composer and as a person. Dave Morgan
Well tappin that thing is easy to do I got that thing for my particular use I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Tap it in the morning, well I tap it at night When I tap that thing I done tap it just right I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Went to the front door get a shine Then go to the back door and get it from behind I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Ah, tap it now, boy... Tappin' that thing is easy to do I got that thing for my particular use I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing I done told you once, I done told you twice Don't be messing round here with my wife I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Wear my shoes, you can wear your socks You hear Yank Rachell how he plays that box He's been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Tap it again, boy, I got 'em... I don't need no wife, don't need no hug Somebody bring me another jug I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing I tap it in the morning, well tap it at night Tap that thing I done tapped it right I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Listen here people, what you done done Got my money got me on the bum I've been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Been tappin' that thing, great god almighty Every morning at eight you can hear me tappin' that thing Oh, tap it now, boys...
Just got to hear John Sebastian with Annie Raines and Paul Rishell at the 50th annual Harmonica Convention (SPAH) doing this tune--had to check out the original!
Sonny Boy played his best behind Yank...The Yank Rachel/Sonny Boy/Washboard Sam recordings should be where every blues harmonica player starts but they don't. Big mistake.....the blueprint for Little Walters playing is right here and on about 5 others.For me these recordings are pretty much the Holy Grail!
@dubfortheyouth uh huh. tapping that thang is no where a modern phrase. if history is studied good enough people would see that a lot of things we say and do now are from the old south

First time I've hear of him but he is really good
He played Mandolin with Sleepy John Estes

OH! I can't believe I found this! Microwave Dave told me about this and he makes reference to Yank in his song "Goin' To Brownsville".
