Big Bill Broonzy: Hey Hey
Posted by clarkspicks in blues, folk, music, tags: Big Bill Broonzy, bluesBig Bill Broonzy struggled for many years in the music business, making many recordings for several labels, starting in 1927, without achieving commercial success. He began as a delta blues musician, tried the emerging rhythm & blues sound in the forties, and finally achieved wide acclaim in the 1950s during the first great folk scare, appearing with Pete Seeger Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and Leadbelly in venues such as New York’s Town Hall.
In this clip, Broonzy plays an up-tempo instrumental which he calls “Hey Hey.”

Hello,
This is a minor comment about site design. I can see the first three columns on the blog. I can’t get to the fourth column. My computer won’t scroll over there. I can see just the edge of the fourth column. I am using a standard sized monitor.
This is just a thought.
I bet you’re using InTernet Explorer. I don’t know why IE shows a fourth column, as the blog only has 3. Sorry for the messy look. I haven’t figured out yet how to fix it for IE.
Very cool.
