Birthdays again this week - Big Bill Broonzy 26th June 1893/1903? - August 14th 1958

 


Big Bill Broonzy (born Lee Conley Bradley; June 26, 1893/1903 – August 14, 1958) was a foundational American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose career spanned five decades and bridged the gap between rural country blues and urban electric blues.

Did I even know that Big Bill’s name was Lee Conley Stanley?I guessI must have as adored him from early on (13!)
