1951 - Smoky Greenwell was born on this day. A harmonica player from Michigan. He learned to play in the 1970's, and his career as a first-call sessions player began at Sam Phillips' Sun Studios. He came to New Orleans in 1981 for an engagement at the now legendary (and defunct) Old Absinthe Bar and decided to stay. Since that time, he has shared stages with Snooks Eaglin, Marc Adams, Eddie Bo, "Big" Al Carson, Brint Anderson, Jumpin' Johnny Sansone, Coco Robicheaux and many others. |
