Hi Friends.
There is so much new music here to dive into and enjoy.
I got back on the piano for
Jailhouse Boogie Woogie Lyrics
I took some stuff and forgot to give it back
I took some stuff and forgot to give it back
the magistrate said man you can't do that
The judge he asked me where did I go wrong
The judge he asked me where did I go wrong
the law and me aint never got along
So he sent me to the penitentiary
he sent me to the penitentiary
300 days until we set you free.
I did my time and now I'm on my way
I did my time and now I'm on my way
that prison ain't no place I wanna stay
The sheriff said I'm glad to see you gone
The sheriff said I'm glad to see you gone
Get out of here go back where you came from.
Well I got smart I had an evil plan
if I Rob your bank I'm sure you'll understand
Damn you sheriff , catch me if you can
A little history if interested :
Waaayy back in the day I was made to take piano lessons which I detested. My grandmother could see that I hated both the piano and lessons so she started playing these wierd sounding 78 records on her wind up gramophone by people called Meade Lux Lewis , Albert Ammons , Pete Johnson and Clarence Smith. For the sake of brevity I won't go on but suffice to say , I was hooked and saw the piano in a new light . I continue to love boogie woogie to this day and soak up everything by Johan Blohm , Silvan Zingg , Jorg Hegemann & Caroline Dahl et-al.
