2. No music aficionado here but it sounds a little like boogy woogy to me..

I still love that stuff. Gonna see Buddy Guy, April 8 down here in Ft Laud.. Can't wait.

3. Yes it is a boogy woogy breakdown

Also called Barrelhouse blues - But I only know this guy because of Big Joe Turner's Roomful of Blues

Call it whatever = it still crushes

5. Don't try to lay no boogie woogy on the King of Rock & roll

4. Thank you.

I did not know that you are a blues nerd. I am, too. Did you grow up anywhere near Chicago?

[The Polack MSgt]

6. No. I grew up.in coal country

26 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, about 12 from Wheeling WV.
I started on the blues in part because of the Blues Brothers and because as a rock fan i kept seeing Willie Dixon's name on cool songs.
I got a bit obsessive about it for a while... Well I still am I suppose.

7. My collection has a lot of sixties rock

and even more blues. I loved Janis Joplin, and she got me interested in the blues. I was just old enough to start going to some of the places in Chicago by that time. I raised my kids to love the blues, too.

8. Johnstown here.. No blues

Just polka's, perogies and Iron city beer..
