The Flimwell Papers

A very random collection of stuff that washes up on this writer's shore; the flotsam and jetsam of the internet. I admire others who have set out with theme or considered a byline....this is just where I show my collection of found and discovered likes and loves!

Willie Dixon ~ Little Red Rooster 

This be the man that wrote it — and contrary to what many said or thought at the time he was really glad that Mick /The Stones covered it.  He pretended for a bit it was some kind of thing but the cheques were all cashed with a smile.  I my somewhat biased opinion Mr. Willie Dixon was one the greatest songwriters ever to hale from America!  Sadly I saw him play twice live — once in Chicago and then in Windsor and the last time he had lost a leg due to diabetes!
