1. Hi Hank, my dad didn't actually play an instrument so he isn't on any Big Al tracks. But guitarist Vernon Sandusky is all over the early Big Al tracks as well as all of the Poe Kats tracks.
2. Thanks Hank! My dad didn't play an instrument, so he's not on Big Al's tracks, but of course Big Al is on the Poe Kats' tracks and the Bobby Brant track. Good to find you and you did a fantastic job on this track!
3. Hi Bobby! So very nice to have met you here! I really dug your Dad's offerings on Phil Ladd's White Rock label and I knew that he recorded both under his real name and as Bobby Brant! Wasn't he playing on 'Big' Al Downing's tracks too?? I used to correspond with Phil Ladd and he sent me a bunch of White Rock 45's and I really dug "Piano Nellie" a lot, that's why I recorded it (and as usual I play all instruments on it, handle the vocal, production and sound engineering bit).

21. I used to have this on a cassette, although a much less "fancy" version, without any guitar solos. I think it was ripped from an album called "Big Hot New Music" or something like that. Was a favorite when i was younger, and still is!

Hank C. Burnette - "Guitar Nellie". Identical to the 1977 UK Sonet version, except that a 3rd guitar and doghouse bass was added in the early '90s. Based upon Bobby Brant's "Piano Nellie" from the '50s. Enjoy!
