Down the Road a Piece

Rebuscando en ese magnifico baul de las sorpresas que es You Tube, hemos encontrado a este fantastico pianista llamdo Amos Milburn....Pero nuestro afán explorador, nos ha llevado a teclear Down the Road a Piece en San GOOGLE, y hemos encontrado, que algún fan irredento a escrito en wikipedia, TODA la historía de la canción desde 1940.....

Aunque allí olrador pero con nuestro fiel aliado para encontrar originales y nos trae a este personaje, el padre del Down the Road Apiece, yo conocia la impagable versión de Chuck Berry, pero este original te deja flasheado, después la recogieron los Rolling Stones y hasta nuestros dias...."Down the Road Apiece" is a song written in 1940 by Don Raye as a boogie woogie for the Will Bradley/Ray McKinley big band, which recorded it in August, and gained a top 10 hit in the closing months of the year.

In the 1940 original, the Will Bradley/Ray McKinley Orchestra was pared down to drums, bass, and piano, under the name, "The Will Bradley Trio," even though Bradley was not in the trio. The three musicians are mentioned in the lyrics,

The drummer man's a guy they call Eight Beat Mack.
And you remember Doc and ol' "Beat Me Daddy" Slack.

"Eight Beat Mack" refers to drummer Ray McKinley, "Doc" refers to bass player Doc Goldberg, and "Beat Me Daddy Slack" refers to Freddie Slack, the pianist, who had risen to stardom as the pianist in "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar" with this same band earlier in the year. Vocals on the recording were by McKinley and Don Raye, author of the song.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_the_Road_a_Piece
Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna play
It's just an old piano and a knockout bass
The drummer's man's a cat they call Charlie McCoy
You all remember that rubber-legged boy?
Mama cookin' chicken fried in bacon grease
Come on along boys it's just down the road apiece
Well there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night about twelve to six
Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
Come on along you can lose your lid
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
Well there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night about twelve to six
Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
Come on along you can lose your lid
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
