Another oddity from my archives. Despite their name, the "Harlem" Hamfats were a Chicago band in the 1930's whose members came from various places; for example, the McCoy brothers hailed from Mississipi, Herb Morand, John Lindsay and Odell Rand were from New Orleans and Horace Malcolm and Freddy Flynn came from Chicago!!
The Harlem Hamfats was a Chicago jazz band formed in 1936. Initially, they mainly provided backup music for jazz and blues singers, such as Johnny Temple, Rosetta Howard, and Frankie Jaxon for Decca Records,but when their first record "Oh Red" became a hit, it secured them a Decca contract for fifty titles. They launched a successful recording career performing danceable music.

This is the flip side of my previous posting of The Harlem Hamfats, this time with Rosetta Howard singing a duet with "Hamfoot Ham" (aka Charles McCoy) I'm not sure of the date & place of the recording, I assume it to be the same session as "Weed Smoker's Dream". (A similarly bawdy lyric, -don'tcha love em!) Sorry about the scratchy sound and clicks, but it IS one of the oldest in my collection!

1936 jazz standard covered by Rupert Chappelle originally recorded by the Harlem Hamfats. After the law was passed the song was reworked as "Do the right thing" which was featured in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" - which wasn't about toons.

"I don't smoke weed but if I did I would do it with Konrad Lenz..." - Emily O'Halloran Live performance at the Front Gallery and Cafe, Lyneham, ACT, Saturday 29 October 2011 Konrad Lenz: vocal / James Nichols: electric guitar / Randall Blair: acoustic guitar / Suzan Dlouhy: cavaquinho / Isaac Liehne: bass / Grahem "Spike" Thompson: drums / A KREWD Ensemble: dancing dead people Live sound mix by James Nichols and Grahem Thompson. Audio recorded by Konrad Lenz with a Zoom H4n. Cameras - Pete Kelleher, Fiete Geier and Konrad Lenz Shot with an el cheapo Pro More and an RCA Small Wonder. Edited by Konrad Lenz This was a gig in celebration of Día de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead. It seemed like the perfect thing to celebrate in conjunction with the return to live performance of the Spirits of the Dead. A KREWD ensemble provided live theatre in between the musical acts. It was a good gig all round. Also on the bill was Jorge Bontes and his band and Suzan Dlouhy (also a member of the Spirits) doing a solo slot. Weed Smoker's Dream was written in 1936 by Kansas Joe McCoy (aka Georgia Pine Boy and Hallelujah Joe). The song was first recorded by the Harlem Hamfats (famous for the song 'Let's Get Drunk and Truck') and was re-written by McCoy as Why Don't You Do Right. There's something very compelling about blues written in minor keys. Weed Smoker's Dream is one of my favourite songs. It has also been recorded by the great Australian blues band the Backsliders (as Why Don't You <b>...</b>

My funky crooked version of an old standard. Last summer at the Port Townsend Blues festival I learned that: A) I'm playing the "wrong" chords in the B part of this tune; and B) It's 13 bars...? I guess I needed an extra bar to catch my breath and/or plant my fingers where I need 'em. Oh well, It's still fun to play and sing. CORRECTION: A more astute individual just clarified my crooked progression for me. Not 13 bars... 33 and a half! I don't count beats (obviously). I guess I oughtta work on that...

„Frisco Town (McCoy - Lawler) Recorded: New York, June 18, 1929 Memphis Minnie (vcl)(g), Joe McCoy (g). Born Lizzie Douglas in Algiers, Louisiana, Minnie was one of the most influential and pioneering female blues musicians and guitarists of all time. She recorded for forty years, almost unheard of for any woman in show business at the time and unique among female blues artists. A flamboyant character who wore bracelets made of silver dollars, she was the biggest female blues singer from the early Depression years through World War II. One of the first blues artists to take up the electric guitar, in 1942, she combined her Louisiana-country roots with Memphis blues to produce her own unique country-blues sound; along with Big Bill Broonzy and Tampa Red, she took country blues into electric urban blues, paving the way for Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Little Walter, and Jimmy Rogers to travel from the small towns of the south to the big cities of the north. She was married three times, and each husband was an accomplished blues guitarist: Kansas Joe McCoy later of the Harlem Hamfats, Casey Bill Weldon of the Memphis Jug Band, and Ernest "Little Son Joe" Lawlers. Paul and Beth Garon's 1992 biography on Memphis Minnie, Woman With Guitar: Memphis Minnie's Blues, makes no mention of a marriage to Weldon, but only says that she recorded two sides with him, in November 1935, for Bluebird Records. It does describe the relationships and marriages to McCoy and Lawlers. After learning <b>...</b>

My girlfriend, Sarah, ordered this Ladislas Starewicz movie called "The Mascot" from 1934. I really enjoyed his scene titled "The Devils Dream" , but I didn't care for the soundtrack by Edouard Flament. I had recently been listenin' to the Harlem Hamfats "Weed Smokers Dream" recorded in Chicago, 1936. I felt it fit perfect so I sync'ed it in and ran up the rest of the time with Sheriff and The Ravels "Shombolar" for musical diversity. Happy Halloween!

w/Barry MitterHoff. Please support Jorma and visit his website for the latest CD releases and up to date touring info @ www.jormakaukonen.com The song was adapted by Eric Von Schmidt, a blues-guitarist and singer-songwriter of the folk revival in the late 1950s. Von Schmidt was a well-known face in the east coast folk scene and was reasonably well-known across the United States. His chronicles of the Cambridge Folk era, also called "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," describes the evolution of the song. Eric had first heard a song by Blind Boy Fuller called "Baby, Let Me Lay It On You." Eric von Schmidt credits Reverend Gary Davis for writing "three quarters" of this song[1] (the melody is very similar to Davis' "Please Baby"). The first known recording, titled "Mama, Let Me Lay It On You," was made by Walter Coleman in 1936; however, Tony Russell claims that Memphis Minnie recorded and released a duet version (with her husband Joe McCoy) as early as 1930,[2] with the arrangement reused by McCoy and his band The Harlem Hamfats in a Jazz song titled "Let Your Linen Hang Low".
