Paul Roper
called me today talking about Piano Red.
Paul was talking mostly about Red's song "YOU GOT THE RIGHT STRING BUT THE
WRONG YO-YO".
That made me
think of his song that he mentions
CALADONIA a lot. I don't know if that is the name of it or not. I got out my Piano Red CD and I could not find a title that I could
related to CALADONIA. Oh well.
I dug up the
Right String, wrong Yo-Yo on YouTube and here it is.
Piano Red
was a DJ and piano playing fun-to-listen-to
on WAOK Radio in Atlanta in the 1950s. As far as the white WASP parents of Metro
Atlanta were concerned, he was public
enemy number one.
Piano Red (Willie Perryman) died in 1984 at the age of 73.
