Poor And Ain't Got A Dime - The Blues From Carolina
My favorite classic blues men are mostly unknown Strangely enough, the three guitarists featured here were South Carolina based. Floyd Council, Pink Anderson (Pink Floyd borrowed their names) and Scrapper Blackwell.
Floyd Council wasn't really well known as a performer under his own name, but frequently featured in studio recording sessions providing backing guitar for 'celebrities' like Blind Boy Fuller, another South Carolina blues man. His picking style was quite complex and was a combination of ragtime and a Texas blues style.
Pink Anderson (I don't think they ever collaborated or even crossed each others path!) played ragtime guitar and sang in traveling medicine shows.
Scrapper Blackwell was a very varied guitar player and created many classic songs, such as Blues Before Sunrise and Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out.
His creation 'Kokomo Blues' was recorded by Robert Johnson by the name 'Sweet Home Chicago'. Scrapper created classics which were to provide inspiration for later masters of blues music.
Floyd Council (Born September 2, 1911 and died May 9, 1976) became a well-known performer of the Piedmont style blues sound, which was well liked all through that region of the US in the 1930s.
He started his career in the 1920s, appearing with the brothers, Leo and Thomas Strowd as "The Chapel Hillbillies". He also played on some sessions with Blind Fuller during the thirties. His throat were partially immobilized after a stroke in the sixties, but it was reported that his mind was still sharp. Unfortunately, he never recovered his playing skills.
Council passed away in 1976 after a heart attack, a little while after going to live in Sanford, N Carolina.
Pink Anderson
Pink's birth place was in Greenville South Carolina. Having trained himself in some popular instruments, he started to play for Dr. Frank Kerr, who ran a business called the Indian Remedy Company in nineteen fourteen to perform for the crowds while the doctor sold his special 'elixir'.
In the town of Spartanburg, Anderson Simeon "Blind Simmie" Dooley in 1916, who showed him how to play guitar - Pink previously had some experience of playing in string bands. When Pink was not traveling with Dr. Kerr, he and Dooley would entertain at small parties?. ?
Problems with his heart was the major factor causing Anderson to retire from the road in nineteen fifty seven.
He had a stroke in 1954, which forced him to almost stop performing, and he would never again play with his old skill. He passed away in October 1974, of a heart attack at the age of 74. He's buried in Spartanburg, where he was born. Anderson's son, who became known as Little Pink Anderson, plays the blues in Vermillion, South Dakota.
Scrapper Blackwell
Born in Syracuse, Carolina, Scrapper Blackwell was one of sixteen children. Partly Cherokee Indian, he was brought up and spent the majority of his years in Indianapolis. He was 'christened' with his familiar name, "Scrapper", by his grandmother, because of his prickly nature. His Dad played the fiddle, but Scrapper was a self-taught guitarist.
Even when he was a teenager, Blackwell worked as a musician part-time, wandering as far away as Chicago. He was unsociable man, withdrawn and difficult to be with. In spite of this, Blackwell established a duo with pianist Leroy Carr, whom he crossed paths with in Indiana during the 1920s, which was a musically creative working relationship.
Blackwell additionally made recordings by himself, which included "Kokomo Blues" which became "Old Kokomo Blues" (Kokomo Arnold) before it was transformed again into "Sweet Home Chicago" by Robert Johnson. Scrapper and Carr traveled extensively throughout the mid-west and through the South from 1928 and 1935 - stars of the blues scene, and they recorded over one hundred tracks.
After Carr's death, Blackwell went back to playing in the late 1950s and was first recorded in June 1958 by Colin C. Pomroy.
He was going to resume performing the blues again when he was killed during a mugging in an alley in Indianapolis. He was fifty nine years old. Even though the crime was never solved, police arrested his neighbor for the murder. Scrapper was buried in New Crown Cemetery, Indianapolis.
