GUEST,dwditty Oscar Brown, Jr. DVD (7) RE: Oscar Brown, Jr. DVD 29 Nov 06

Oscar died a couple of years ago. He and Van Ronk rank 1/2 in my list of all time musical heros - now both sadly gone.

A lot of OBJs records have made it over to CD, including the ones you mention above - Tells It Like It Is is another favorite.

I still cover alot of his songs including Signifyin' Monkey, All Blues (he wrote lyrics to Miles' classic), But I Was Cool, Rags and Old Iron, Sombeody Buy Me A Drink, etc. Signifyin is a crowd pleaser.

I never knew that Dylan mentioned him - I will have to go back and look.
