Grandma Weathers was worried about Ramses and her great-grandson Tyrone introduced her to youtube to get her mind off the matter.
Grandma only wanted to watch the pianist Albert Ammons play Swanee River Boogie. Over and over Grandma watched the old video someone pieced together and posted on youtube on Tyrone's lap top. Grandma enjoyed seeing the fat man Ammons play and his chunky hands, his strange teeth and shy smile and exaggerated mannerisms intrigued her. Another favorite musician of hers from her youth also played with Ammons, on the videos. Pete Johnson the pianist played backup on Swanee River Boogie.
Uncharacteristically, Grandma asked her Granddaughter Katey, recently divorced but still well to do, to buy her blue ray, HD TV and some elaborate speakers. Tyrone hooked up the system so Grandma could watch the old boogie woogie videos by her favorites and lots of us great grandchildren began to enjoy that style of music.
