First published on and taken from Jaxyson 50b single (US 1948)



2 ) Goldrush (real name unknown):Vocals & Piano

Recorded in Oakland, CA. 1948

It doesn't get any rarer than Goldrush. He only made one recording as a blues singer/pianist in the late 1940's and it was released on an extremely obscure West Coast label.



3) In 1956, an unknown Detroit street musician called Sam Wilson, nicknamed "One String" Sam

walked into Joe’s Record Shop on Hastings Street, Detroit, carrying a plank of wood containing a single string and

proceeded to record two songs on his so-called diddley bow,

“I Need a Hundred Dollars” and “My Baby Ooh.”.

The two tracks were released as a 10-inch single by the JVB Recording Company (JVB release #40)

and made its way into jukeboxes throughout the Detroit area.
