Hammond Report May 27 2020 from Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - original Music and Stories from organist accordionist
Jon Hammond - today's story about my Uncle Bernie aka Sonny.
When I was growing up in Chicago everybody told me I looked like Sonny, so they started calling me Sonny. My uncle came back from WWII with part of his leg shot off, all war is terrible I learned at young age - his war time watch was an old Rolex Speed King, I have now inherited from my Mom and it's running just fine. The song playing in the background is my funk tune "Head Phone" with a feature of congas & percussionist Chuggy Carter from a gig we played in the big apple a few years ago and is on my first album "Late Rent" - everybody stay safe and keep your masks on when you go out in the public folks! c u in a minute,
