Kid Stormy Weather

I’m back from Nashville and I’m happy to report that the son and mom are doing very well and that the baby is incredibly cute. I’m an suggestion that they should name their kid “Kid Stomy Weather,” in tribute to the great lost piano blues player, but they didn’t take me up on it. Maybe when I have kids.

Kid Stormy Weather recorded two songs in 1935, but was a local legend around New Orleans for playing in the barrelhouse bars down there. He has this big loud voice that dominates the mix which should of been tamed, but his piano breakdowns are so quick and good it really makes up for anything else. He easily has the quickest hands I’ve heard in a pre-war piano track.
