They Call It Stormy Monday

New thing I’m trying: paid subscribers get extra bonus content like notated transcriptions and guitar tab

Music in this episode:

T-Bone Walker - "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday’s Just As Bad)" (1947)

T-Bone Walker - "Mean Old World" (1942)

Charlie Christian - "Air Mail Special" (1941)

Charlie Christian - "Solo Flight" (1941)

Correction: I refer to the Allman Brothers Band as a "white band" multiple times, but one of the original members, drummer John Lee "Jaimoe" Johnson, is Black.
