Loved the driving rhythm Andries. Your Texas is Jammin! i like your slide mystro. Train rumble rumble licious. Cool we both came out with Texas LPGs on the same day. :^)
Dixon's progress on the upright bass came to an abrupt halt with the advent of World War II, when he refused induction into military service as a conscientious objector and was imprisoned for ten months. He refused to go to war because he would not fight for a nation in which institutionalized racism and racist laws were prevalent. After the war, he formed a group named the Four Jumps of Jive:
"Dixon met Leonard Caston at a boxing gym, where they would harmonize at times. Dixon performed in several vocal groups in Chicago, but it was Caston that persuaded him to pursue music seriously.[11]Caston built him his first bass, made of a tin can and one string. Dixon's experience singing bass made the instrument familiar.["
