John's Idea

I stumbled across this interview with John Hammond - not the blues singer, but his father, the producer and "catalytic agent" of the swing era. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

It's the Birthday of John Hammond

It is the birthday of John P. Hammond. He was born on 13 November 1942 in New York. He is somtimes mistakenly called "John Hammond, Jr", which is his father's name. He is a blues singer and guitarist. I like his voice, he sounds like he has got the blues.
