I thought that the second part of the Dylan documentary was was to be shown last night, which it wasn’t does anyone know if PBS is going to show the second part of the movie anytime or do i need to Netflix the set.

Pete Johnson is one of the great blues piano players whose style is one of those who you only need to hear a few bars of to recognize that that it’s him. Along with Meade Lux Lewis and Albert Ammons he helped to develop the Boogie-Woogie style of piano playing and one that’s so uniquely tied to the blues. Johnson I think is a little more flashy that Lewis or Ammons, he plays faster and really pounds the keys harder than the others. It’s a real fun listen - and I’m presenting a Lomax recording of what would become his most famous work - Roll ‘Em.
