Thread Name: Obit: Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith
Subject: RE: Obit: Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith
To many of my 'baby boomer' generation Guitar Boogie Shuffle by Bert Weedon was a dance hall favourite for groups with red guitars along with anything by The Shadows and The Ventures. I sold Alvin Lee an EP by Mr. Smith (an unwanted Xmas gift)in the early 60s and never heard Guitar Boogie, which I admit to confusing title-wise with the Chuck Berry track, until relatively recently. I love the bass string riff. RIP Mr. Smith
