    Pinetop and Johnny Johnson are legendary pianists! Wonderful men who forwarded much great music to us all. Memphis Slim went to Europe and others stayed in America to entertain and amaze audiences everywhere with recordings and brilliant performances! Thanks for posting this video. We've lost Pinetop and Johnson now but will always have them in spirit and recordings like this one!

      Thanks for your tremendous contributions Mitch. I'm a longtime fan of this legendary group of performers. America wouldn't be the same w/o them!!

    How many people can play Boogie Woogie at 96 years old?? Pinetop's a legend for sure.

    Ninety-six year old "Pine Top Perkins" performance from 2009. I think that man has probably forgotten more than I know. Hat tip boogie woogie man Mitch Woods.

    Pinetop Perkins was the best. He passed not many years back at 97 yrs. old. He traveled everywhere and was a legendary piano player. I saw him a few years back at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, AR. He's legendary.

    When you bring a 96 year old legend like Pinetop who lived and breathed the era of boogie woogie, you don't let em, wait, you let him do his thing . He young at heart. ❤️

    Just so wonderful to see this man playing like that. Music is something that stays in your heart and mind. Those of us who do play a bit, never stop. My mom was 92 when she passed away and she could still sit down and play music.

    Seeing a human being ROCKING at 96 years of age... I love this species! NEVER quit! I got a grandma age 96, sharp as a tack! I know a farmer, age 87, still gets out on his tractor in the summer heat! Loving life and what you do will delay death til YOU'RE ready.

    In my 20's, I was asked to dance by a gentleman in his 70's. The band started with some Cumbia music, then changed to Boggie Woogie music. Holey Moley! I could hardly keep up with the man! He was tossing me all over the place! Had a line of women waiting to dance with him and he danced with them all! Never seen so many happy women!. What a gentleman........

    @Mr427351 9 лет назад +7

    This is great Mitch. I've loved Pinetop since I first heard his stuff on the radio in Indy back in the early 1990s. I lived in Indy for 14 years and spent a lot of time at the Slippery Noodle watching some of the best blues acts in the world. That made me pick up the bass guitar and then the Fender Strat with a Blues Deluxe amp. The blues are the best.

  • @tombeyer375
    @tombeyer375 2 года назад +1

    When he puts his cane down and hits the "shave and a haircut - two bits", you know things are about to go down! His delay and play style shows his expertise and love for music! RIP dear brother.

  • @integralherbalism3093

    I stumbled on this while watching Little Richard, when I lived in California we went into S.F. one night with some friends and Mitch was sitting at the piano of a near empty bar. We drank and sang all night around that piano, he's a great guy. He was 'Mitch Woods and the Rocket 88's' then. Glad I found this. Tip o the hat Mitch.
