Marshall, Birthplace Of Boogie Woogie
Growing up in Marshall, none of us was aware that our town had a unique place in musical history. However, recent research by Dr. John Tennison, a San Antonio psychiarist and respected musicologist, has established that the most exciting, innovative and influential of popular music forms, Boogie Woogie, originated in the Marshall area in the early 1870s. Jack Canson stumbled upon some hints of this in his research of Caddo Lake history, and in January, Jack and his wife Nancy began a collaboration with Dr. Tennison that resulted in Marshall declaring to be the "Birthplace of Boogie Woogie", and an application for trademark registration was filed.
Jack and Nancy would like to invite everyone to visit Marshall, Texas Birthplace of Boogie Woogie Fan page on Facebook, to learn more about this discovery. Use the links below to join their Fan Page, read more about it and see photos and videos. (Copy and paste in your browser the link below.) In June, they celebrated the Birthplace claim with a Boogie Woogie Homecoming show, that included one of the great Blues & Boogie Woogie piano masters who was returning to his hometown of Marshall for the first time since 1955. There is a terrific Dallas Morning News story about this, which you can see at this link:
