Papa John was a master of his craft.
wow, so soulful and ragtime-y also. Happy 107th birthday, Papa John, 5/28/1917, and thanks for the great music!
I am St.Louis born and raised about a mile from Chuck Berry's clubs on St.Charles Rock Dr. Then his Hotel on Lindbergh by the airport. Pappa was a genius. He deserved a motion picture .
Wow, what a treat! Used to see him at a club in Willimantic, Connecticut! SHABOO! Gone, but not forgotten! This brings back some bodacious memories! I'm dancing in my kitchen, and 21 again...at 66!

Same here!! Saw him at the Agora Ballroom in Tampa, a club with about 120 seats in the front and pool tables in the back, around 1979. Sat 8' away from the stage.
I listened to him 50 years ago. He died in 1994 in his 70s and played for Hot Tuna & Jefferson Starship. I just love to listen to his blues.
Papa John is an American treasure. Nobody ever sounded like him .

I first learned about Papa from Jefferson Starship, the way he made the violin sing is like no other. He is now playing for everyone in heaven, RIP Pappa.
Saw this man in N.Y., with Jefferson Starship, in the 70's. Absolute, love at first listen. I am a forever fan!

I thought he started off with ‘Summertime’ 🌹
Wow. This is spectacular. How can I find more like this?

Try some Gatemouth Brown, Howard Armstrong, or Claude Williams. They are all the real deal on fiddle, maybe the last generation of old- time blues fiddlers.
No plagiarism from Papa John....I'm sure..but this melody reminds you Gershwin's ... Summertime ... from ... Porgy and Bess ....
When you compare Papa John's playing to others....all others are not Papa John
Good
Thanks for posting. Do you have the video Jorma Kaukenen and Papa John playing "that'll never happen no more"? It seems to have vanished from the internet.
