This one's kind of nuts. George Coleman sings some pretty demented blues. He delivers rambling monologues, shrieks, whistles, laughs and barks like a dog all while banging on an empty oil drum.
I actually knew Bongo Joe. I was born in 1967 and for most of my childhood, I would watch him perform just above the Hilton Hotel at the riverwalk. It was always very exciting to see him play even if me and my mom and younger brother were the only ones watching him. He would even let me play his "bongos" from time to time. I remember telling my mom every time we were at the Riverwalk... "Mom... can we see if Bongo Joe is there today!?" Fond memories. He was a gentle soul and a great entertainer.
