Elvis Presley: The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doin' now, man, for more years than I know. They played it like that in the shanties and juke joints and nobody paid it no mind 'til I goose it up. I got it from them. Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever got to the place I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw.[i] - Elvis on Rock &amp; Roll music,Charlotte Observer, June 26, 1956 Elvis Presley also said  My stuff is just hopped-up Country.  :rolleyes: You always post this same crap over and over it's like the 50th time I've seen you post this same exact mantra and every time it gets debunked and everytime you do it again just to annoy the Hell out of people like me. Wait..wait...and did Elvis Presley invent rock n' roll? No.:rolleyes: Elvis never even wrote a song in his life, he was just a dumb old country boy who liked to sing and dance and play guitar.       Jimmy Rodgers Father of Country music   They only call him the Father of Country music because he was the first Country super star. PS- His name is spelled  JIMMIE , so how does that help your article's credibility when they can't even spell his name right while they slander him?    A Mississippi native, Jimmy Rodgers (1897 - 1933) was an amateur guitar player who worked as a railroad brakeman until tuberculosis forced him to find other work. He adapted black country blues into commercial hillbilly music,   That's a slanderous lie and there is absolutley ZERO proof to back it up. Now here is a task for you my slanderous friend...you find me a quote from Jimmie Rodgers where he says he adapted black country blues:rolleyes: A quote from Rodgers himself, from his wife, from his best friends, his brother, anyone, wait..you can't do it because it's BS! :mad:    creating a new form called the blue yodel.   The blue yodel was just his style of yodeling:rolleyes: Did the niggas teach him how to yodel too?      Bill Monroe father of bluegrass  Also an avid guitarist by the age of 12, Monroe's developing instrumental style was likewise shaped by the African-American musical traditions/teachings of black fiddler/guitarist Arnold Schultz. Music historians credit Schultz with putting the blues in bluegrass. Monroe blended these two styles into his own, a combination of the raw tonalities of Negro blues and the lonesome sound of the mountain modal ballads. (It is rumored that shortly after Monroe's years of tutelage, Schultz was murdered, given poisoned whiskey by fellow musicians jealous of his talent.)   More BS. Monroe played a couple jam sessions with that old negro and nothing more and these anti-White pricks take a mole hill and try to make a mountain out of it. They'll take a guy doing a jam session with some old Black guy and turn it into Bill Monroe learn everything he know from a negro , yep he sho did:rolleyes: Bill Monroe himself said numerous times that Bluegrass goes straight back to the Celtic/Folk music of Scotland. I can't believe the Chutzpah of these liars who write this BS. Where DO you get this crap from? I notice you never link to a source either.     In Bill Monroes own words on Bluegrass music...  It's got a hard drive to it. It's Scotch bagpipes and old-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz and it has a high lonesome sound. It's plain music that tells a story. It's played from my heart to your heart, and it will touch you. – Bill Monroe   Yeah? Is this supposed to bother me or something:confused:       The Carter Family the first family of country music When Riddle traveled with A.P., he acted as a human recorder by learning the songs and teaching them to Sara and Maybelle. Riddle's guitar work influenced the playing of Maybelle Carter who incorporated Riddle's blues lick into her style. Maybelle's guitar style became the famous Carter Scratch.    Lying bastards. Lesley Riddle was the Carter Familys pet ni##er and nothing more. He was their bitch boy. Ma Carter taught HIM how to play guitar!:mad: Here is Maybelle Carter in her own words on how she developed her Carter Scratch, not a mention of a negro anywhere, ohhh I guess she is just racist and done fo'got about po' ol' lil' Lesley Riddle who dun taught her everythang she know:rolleyes: In her own words...   Maybelle Carter talks about how she came up with her signature style, the 'Carter scratch.'   She developed her style all on her own, so stop telling lies, negro thief.   http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/me/20030704.me.guitar1.ram    Blah blah blah...Jazz was banned by Hitler because it was American therefore not native to the Fatherland of Germany and not even European. He didn't want German and European culture being contaminated by foreign influences like that and besides that he didn't want people listening to American music when they didn't exactly have great relations with the U.S. y'know... Also because it was modern and not traditional, and he thought it was too degenerate, decadent and sexually suggestive, Hitler was a real old-fashioned, very conservative kind of guy. Then besides all of that there was the fact that the biggest Jazz star at the time was Louis Armstrong and many of the famous Jazz and Big Band and Swing musicians at the time were Jews or Blacks and he didn't want people listening to them and didn't want them coming to Germany to put on concerts. However, in contrast to his German ally, Mussolini was known to be a great fan of American Jazz and Big Band music.  How many times have you posted this now?:rolleyes: Tell me, how does what Hitler thought about Jazz music change the fact that it was a group of White guys(the ODJB) who were the first band to call themselves Jazz, first to record, to create the style of Dixieland, to set off the Jazz Age and were referred to by Louis Armstong as being the first true Jazz band?     Charlie and His Orchestra, a Nazi Jazz/Big Band, enjoy :D     In the 1930's the Nazis had the same love/hate relationship with swing music. They outlawed it on their homefront, throwing it into the category of degenerate art. But at the same time, they employed it in the service of the fatherland. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, assembled a fairly competent swing band called Charlie and His Orchestra to perform Nazified versions of the jazz hits of the day.
