Shimmy Shimmy Ya Ya
Chris Becker
About this work:
A track from my CD Saints & Devils - an aural journey inspired by songs, stories and icons of the deep South. This track features Charlie Miller on trumpet and flutes, Louis Romanos on drums and Lynn Wright on electric guitar. The voice of my Grandfather Richard Foster is heard at the beginning of the track. He is describing his experiences playing church picnics in Southern Ohio during the Depression.
