mikelz777 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Did this little kid grow up to be anyone we might know? Little kid makin' "Caldonia" work for him. Edited July 14, 2009 by mikelz777 Quote
mikelz777 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 From a poster on the AAJ board, the kid was Frank "Sugar Chile" Robinson. Here's some more information on him.

JSngry Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 More detail here: http://www.rockabilly.nl/references/messag...le_robinson.htm Resist any temptation about ordering that Rev-O-La set unless a whole CD's worth of basic boogie-woogie (mostly - all? - in the same key) about what a drag/joy it is to be a kid. Great story, no so great records...maybe Capitol's fault? But there's a clip or two on YouTube (or was) of him from a few years ago that is not bad at all. So, happy ending. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Didn't Frank Robinson go on to play baseball? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Wow. All I can think after watching that is what was I thinking in the fifth grade when I decided practicing on my trombone an hour a day was quite enough? Quote
