This one was rather difficult, especially if you didn't have a lot of the
boogies, most likely procured from the obscure wings of Roger's and Norm's
collections. Maybe the next one will be easier. It may have felt like the
hardest quiz, especially soon after the 98% of the Leiber & Stoller quiz.
The average % correct was only 56%, the 3rd lowest of the quizzes, just
slightly easier than the hardest which was the Intros Quiz @51.7% average
correct, and the Guitar Quiz @53.9%. Excuse my digression, but that Intro's
% surprised me, so maybe I'll have to do another Intro's quiz.

The scores were:

    64 RocketManJoe
    60 Marc
    48 Rick
    47 Cathy
    30 Mark
    20 Bill

The hardest ones, not gotten by anyone were:

    #02 Al Simmons: "Old Folks Boogie"
    #20 Jimmy Reed: "State Street Boogie"
    #29 Lonnie Pitchford: "One-String Boogie"
    #34 Roy Milton: "Bartender's Boogie"

The easiest ones,gotten by all, were:

    #07 Bill Haley: "Rock a Beatin' Boogie"
    #08 Chuck Berry: "Guitar Boogie"
    #12 Drifters with Cyde McPhatter: "Let the Boogie Woogie Roll"
    #13 Elvis Presley: "Milkcow Blues Boogie"
    #14 Hank Snow: "The Rhumba Boogie"
    #19 Jerry Lee Lewis: "Lewis Boogie"
    #25 Johnny Cash: "Luther Played The Boogie"

The only single was RocketMan Joe who got:

    #32 Meadowlarks: "Boogie Woogie Teenage"

The "almost" singles were:

    #22 Joe Turner: "Rocket Boogie 88"

with Joe getting it entirely correct and Marc getting the artist, and

    #33 Rolling Stones: "Shake Your Hips"

with Marc getting it entirely correct and Rick getting the artist.

The next hardest ones, gotten completely only by one but with two others
getting the just the artist:

    #10 Doc Watson: "Freight Train Boogie" . . . Joe  | Cathy & Marc
    #26 Lightnin' Hopkins: "Lightnin's Boogie" . Marc | Cathy & Rick

The doubles were:

    #01 Elmore James: "Country Boogie" . . . . . Marc & Cathy
    #05 Arthur Smith: "Guitar Boogie"  . . . . . Joe & Cathy
    #11 Dr. Ross: "Boogie Disease" . . . . . . . Joe & Cathy
    #35 Slim Harpo: "Boogie Chillen" . . . . . . Joe & Marc
    #37 Tiny Bradshaw: "Bradshaw Boogie" . . . . Joe & Rick
    #39 ZZ Top: "La Grange"  . . . . . . . . . . Joe & Marc

A few things came up that should be mentioned for possible solution/resolution.

I had/used "Mojo Boogie" by J B Lenoir. Cathy guessed "The Mojo" by JB
Lenore(sic), which I also had. We think "The Mojo" came from Roger. Anyway,
they definitely are the same song, though different versions. Could anyone
corroborate the different names and possibly the dates ?

#15 Howlin' Wolf: Houserockin' Boogie &/or Howlin' Wolf's Boogie.
The clip I used is named House Rockin' Boogie. Joe pointed me to a site
that used my same sample, and the title they had was Howlin' Wolf's Boogie.
So, is this the same song with two different names, or are there two
different songs ? I do have both named versions, but they are identical.

I believe I was able corroborate that #29 was Lonnie Pitchford. Doing his
One String Boogie on his homemade diddley bow. It appears to be from/on
The National Downhome Blues Festival Vol. 1, recorded in Atlanta on
10/19-24/1984. If interested, here's a Lonnie link:

As I indicated, I took some poetic liberty with Shake Your Hips and La
Grange. Being fairly familiar with Shake Your Hips, but not having any idea
if boogie was in the lyrics, I went checking to see what the lyrics were.
Whoa, a bit of a serendipitous moment. Right there, "She said, "What do you
know, There's Slim Harpo!", and Slim's version of John Lee Hooker's classic
Boogie Chillun was right after the next clip.
