Thread Name: Diz Disley retrospective
Subject: RE: Diz Disley retrospective
Actually he also includes one of my favourites, "One Meat Ball". I have played it for years based on my remembrance of Diz' 1970s or earlier arrangement, and only now got to hear how accurate I have been over the intervening period (not too bad...). It was not until much later that I discovered it had been originally popularised by Josh White in the 1940s who produced a mighty fine swinging version which is clearly the basis for Diz's. There are threads elsewhere on mudcat surrounding the song's origins too.
