Post Old Music you like!! !
I have to wonder about the sound quality of it.
XD
OMG you guys are hilarious. This music is from way before electricity and recording technology was ever invented. About 900 years before actually... That video was from a piece of music from 1098 – 1179.
When you guys listen to anything by Beethoven or Bach do you actually think that they recorded the music in the 1700's? Beethoven's/Bach's music was all written to a sheet and recorded in the 1900's.
Yeah, that was kinda my whole point. XD Guess I was too vague about it....
I'd figure for my first post, I would go with Canadian bands/singers. All of these songs I enjoy.
The Guess Who - No time.
I couldn't find one of the group playing, so I opted for a vid with good sound quality.

This is one of my all time dance favorites from my "disco dancing" years. Even now, it makes me want to dance!

Yes, I have read several books on Robert Johnson and the history of blues. He was extremely influential in the history of American music, especially rock and roll - he was far more popular when he was rediscovered posthumously in the 1960's than he was during his own short lifetime.
I really like Robert Johnson's, mentor, Son House. Skip James, another of Johnson's influences, wrote a lot of great songs, but I don't care for the sound of his voice. Other noteworthy contemporaries included Bessie Smith, Mississippi John Hurt, Charlie Patton, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Lemon Jefferson (there were a lot of blind musicians back then, sort of a continuation of the ancient blind bard tradition), and many, many more.
The story goes that Ma Rainey ("Mother of the Blues") coined the term "the blues" in 1902 to describe the kind of music she was performing at tent shows. W.C. Handy ("Father of the Blues") was also instrumental in popularizing it around this time.
Robert Johnson was most active in the early 1930's. The devil myth is entertaining, but the truth is that he got involved in music at a young age and hung out at juke joints as much as possible during his early teen years. But he wasn't very good at playing anything and a lot of the older blues musicians would laugh at him. Then he left town for a while and when he came back, he could play guitar really well. No one was sure where he went. The myth about the devil arose later to explain this sudden increase in ability coupled with his mysterious disappearance, and to entertain people.
I recommend that anyone who is interested in the history of blues (or American music in general) should read a good book or two on the subject. PM me for recommendations.
