GUEST,JoanieChicago Jesse Fuller - Footdoodler (19) RE: Jesse Fuller - Footdoodler 14 Dec 08

I met Jesse in Berkeley in 1959 -- he used to come to a music shop where we used to hang out -- He would play his "FootDella" He told us that the name was because he played it with his foot and Della was named for his wife.

I read other comments that he said that his wife named it "foot-dilla" to be like "killer diller"   I don't recall his ever saying that but it's 50 years and memories get distorted!

But that's what I recall
