Købte lidt rock historie for en 50'er i dag:
Jo, og lidt blues historie selvfølgelig - Blind Boy Fuller - Country Blues (optagelse fra 35 - 40) på Philips udgivet i 1962.
Fremragende blues, han bør nævnes sammen med Robert Johnson og var da også samtidig med ham.
Men tilbage til det der med rock historie.
Det viser sig at selveste Syd Barrett sad med en kopi af præcis denne skive da han fik ideen til Pink Floyd navnet. Navnet kommer fra cover noterne som er skrevet af Paul Oliver.
Helt præcis står der i første afsnit:
"Though popular conceptions of the cultures that have produced the blues tend to concentrate on the deep south, on the blues of Mississippi, East Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama, those states that border them have been no less productive of the music.
Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, the Carolinas have been the working territories of innumerable blues singers who have travelled east and west as their more southerly brethren have moved northwards.
Some remain virtually unknown to all except to those who heard them in person in roadside "jukes" and on street corners - men like "Peg-Leg" from Asheville, North Carolina, who could play two harmonicas simultaneously, one with his nose and one with his lips, or could accompany his own singing; or De Ford Bailey who is known to blues enthusiasts by a couple ofobscure titles but who was famous in Tennessee amongst the wandering singers and blues musicians. Curley Waever and Fred McMullen, Georgia-born but more frequently to be found in Kentucky or Tennessee.
Pink Anderson or
Floyd Council - these were a few amongst the many blues singers that were to be heard in the rolling hills of the Piedmont, or meandering with the streams through the wooded valleys. Of this considerable body of folk talent, annonymous and legendary alike, none was more famous than Blind Boy Fuller"
Syd Barrett tog fornavnene fra Pink Anderson og Floyd Council og dannede Pink Floyd.
