Is anybody familiar with stride piano? James P. Johnson seems to be the most prominent name in that field, but I was wondering, didn't Cripple Clarence Lofton also play stride? Also, there have been some really great barrelhouse players. Champion Jack Dupree, he was in the U.S. armed forces based in France during World War II, and because there was hardly any racial discrimination he remained in that country and pursued his career as a piano player. I was privileged to see him in Portsmouth, England, back in the '60's, along with Jesse Fuller, who was a one-man band. What fantastic characters they were!
