Johnny Marvin and William Carola: "Memphis Blues" MP3 (2.3 MB) It's "hot uke" month again here at the old web site. I finally tracked down an original copy of the other side of the great uke/guitar duet of Johnny Marvin and William Carola playing "12th Street Rag," which was a highlight of the Legends of the Ukulele CD compilation. This track is about as good. It is an old W.C. Handy standard and was waxed by the pair in 1926 for the Victor label. Check out some great film of Johnny Marvin in action on YouTube singing and playing his uke (and even the musical saw). I can find little info on William Carola and wonder if he made more recordings. |
