Marion Walter Jacobs (May 1, 1930 – February 15, 1968), known as Little Walter, was an American blues musician, singer, and songwriter, whose revolutionary approach to the harmonica earned him comparisons to seminal virtuosos Django Reinhardt, Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, for innovation and impact on succeeding generations. His virtuosity and musical innovations fundamentally altered many listeners' expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. Little Walter was inducted to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 in the "sideman" category, making him the only artist inducted specifically as a harmonica player.
Jacobs was born in 1930 in (although recently uncovered census data suggests he may have been born earlier, possibly as early as 1925) in Marksville, Louisiana, and raised in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, where he first learned to play the harmonica. After quitting school by the age of 12, Jacobs left rural Louisiana and travelled around working odd jobs and busking on the streets of New Orleans; Memphis; Helena, Arkansas; and St. Louis. He honed his musical skills on harmonica and guitar performing with much older bluesmen, including Sonny Boy Williamson II, Sunnyland Slim, Honeyboy Edwards and others.

Plot: Eight years earlier, Anne Elliot, the daughter of a financially troubled aristocratic family, was persuaded to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a young seaman, who, though promising, had poor family connections. When her father rents out the family estate to Admiral Croft, Anne is thrown into company with Frederick, because his sister is Mrs. Croft. Frederick is now a rich and successful Captain, and a highly eligible bachelor. Whom will he marry? One of Anne's sister's husband's sisters? Or will he and Anne rekindle the old flame?

Little Walter playing acoustically* (E harp, 2nd position - key of B), Hound Dog Taylor on guitar. From American Folk Blues Festival 1967, Germany. See "Legends Of: The American Folk-Blues Festivals" DVD. *To people complaining all harmonica is acoustic: Chicago blues harp players typically played into PA mics while cupping the mic in their hands with the harmonica. Later they starting using their own amps for this exact purpose. Using the mics in this way gives a unique distorted sound that is distinctly different than pure acoustic playing.

This is a trailer from the Blue Midnight, the upcoming film biography of Little Walter, widely considered to be the greatest blues harmonica player of all time. The film was produced and directed by Mike Fritz, a Boston-based film maker and musician. The film is unfinished due to a lack of needed funds for final editing, mastering, and licensing of Walter's music and film footage of Walter's last performances in Europe in 1967. Update October 2013: The Little Walter Foundation is now offering a helping hand to Mike Fritz to raise funds to help to finish the film. The Little Walter Foundation was founded by Little Walter's daughter, Marion Diaz Reacco, to preserve the legacy of her father, to provide blues music education and to sustain the blues music genre. Little Walter was induct...

Willie Dixon was the Apostle Paul of the Chicago Blues. He was a wonderful fair and honest man who had no need of exaggerating or bending Truth. The main reason for this interview was to establish a True history of the originators and innovators of the Electrified Blues Harp. Also to establish the fact that the sound of Rock originated on the Blues Harmonica. Check out the sound of Shakey's Harmonica on his duet with Muddy Waters, "Standing Round Crying!" This 1952 offering was recorded shortly after Little Walter's "Juke" in 1952. Little Walter was the very first to record the Rock sound but Shakey originated it. I always wondered decades ago how Shakey could sound like he did back in 1952 and receive virtually no acclaim. His sound was stunning and like Thor's Hammer!

Well, that mean old, mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Yes, that mean old Frisco
Low down Santa Fe
Gone took my babe away
Yes, and blow smoke out to me
Well, my mother, she done told me
And my father told me too
Yes, my mother she done told me
Father told me too
Son, every woman grins in your face
Well, she ain't no friend of you
Lord, I wonder
Will she ever think of me
Lord, I wonder
Will my baby think of me
Yes, I wonder, I wonder
Will my baby think of me
Lord, I ain't got no
Special rider here
Lord, I ain't got no
Special rider here
I'm gonna leave
'Cause I don't feel welcome here
