Mitch Woods' Boogie Woogie Blowout featuring Pinetop Perkins
In case you haven't already heard we lost one of our great piano legends-Pinetop Perkins this week.
One of the highlights of my career was presenting him at my Boogie Woogie Blowout in 2009. He stole the show when he came out midway rather than at the finale and wanted to play piano. Here is a link to the YouTube video that I would like to share. It is priceless! We will miss you Mr. Pinetop.

Road trip in the Bluesmobile this week on the Radio Hour. Elwood stops by Mitch Woods' house, where Mitch has his piano tuned up and ready to play. Get schooled in piano blues with tracks from Gumbo Blues, Mitch's tribute to New Orleans bluesman Smiley Lewis. Elwood also spins tracks from Charles Brown, Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Dave Edmund, Honey Piazza, and Ray Charles. Mitch will educate the listener on what happens when you put a little boogie woogie on the blues, and what happens when you put a little New Orleans spin on top of that. Mitch Woods performs live from his living room.
