Big Maceo
Manage episode 273910995 series 2802227
For a mere five years, the rollicking, hard-driving piano playing of Major "Big Maceo" Merriweather dominated the Chicago blues scene. Maceo was left handed, and no one before or since has been able to create the drive and beat that propelled the recordings he made with Tampa Red, Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Boy Williamson I, and under his own name.
Sadly, a stroke in 1946 deprived him of the use of his right hand.
