The Hoochie Coochie was a sexually provacative dance introduced at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893Written by Willie Dixon in 1954 and recorded on a 78rpm record with 'She's So Pretty' on the B side. Recorded by Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) on guitar and vocals. Willie D on bass, Little Walter on harp, and Fred Below on drums.I had to do without Willie, Walter and Fred on my Saturday morning jam and video. Recorded now on a GDG 3 string Squarona box from Wes Carl, on a Wes Carl amp turned down low and using an 1862 English penny pick from John Bassett. (Thank you, my friends)

thanks Owl, Kevin and Brick. Try that song guys. It is not too hard. If you think you are not a singer, you can pretty much talk or growl out the lyrics. Brick, I am practicing for that dance. Keep watching.
Thanks folks. @ John Grinder: you helped me learn that style. @ Silent Jim: Jickel Jam. @ Mike- isn't blues history great?! @ Ms B: I'm blushing. @ Chillicool: thanks man, but wouldn't it be fun to play with those greats? @ Wes and John B.: thanks for your contributions. Thanks Prof and Phillip.
