120 years ago, if you were at the bottom of the barrel, you could always go work in the pine forests of East Texas and Louisiana making turpentine. Huge nomadic camps of thousands of men would roam the woods cooking turpentine and moonshine. The entertainment that they had was usually just a piano.
The turpentine camps were notoriously rowdy. To be heard at all the piano players had to bang really hard. A style emerged, and people called it Boogie Woogie.
Fifty years later, people still enjoyed the music and wanted to play it on the radio, but you couldn’t say “Boogie Woogie” on open airwaves, so the term “Rock ‘n Roll” got coined as a family-friendly way of saying “Boogie Woogie”.
The Mississippi Delta, where Blues was invented, isn’t very far from the pine-woods, and the two met in Memphis, got married, and had kids in New Orleans, Chicago, Houston, and everywhere in between.
But what this gentleman is playing is straight Boogie Woogie just like it would have sounded back in the birthplace.

Why couldnt they say boogie woogie on the radio?
763
u/Sir_Francis_Burton Apr 01 '23
Good question.
The term had already been associated with poor black people having a rowdy good time, and you know what that leads to…
Also, the turpentine camps were integrated, poor white people partied side by side with poor black people. There were both white and black piano players.
The term “Boogie Woogie” became a sort of code-word for fear-mongering about the dangerous black man and the evils of integration.

Wait but what about the 1941 song, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy?" Why was that allowed on the radio? Was that song racist? I've never thought twice about it like that if true.

We're talking about 40 years before that. By the roaring 20's jazz slang had become the teen slang of it's day and jazz had become popular music and so had the less controversial black singers. By the 40's and WW2 jazz had already entered it's second age of swing music and big band music like the andrew sisters who I believe sang that song.

u/mekwall Apr 01 '23
The cartoon Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B, which was inspired by the song, is super racist by today's terms.
Also, several of The Andrew Sisters' songs were pretty racist. Take Civilization for example. I personally love their music but they'd be canceled to the moon if it was released today.

That doesn't track though, u/Sir_Francis_Burton references the camps of 120 years ago (~1903 or so) and then explicitly says:
Fifty years later, people still enjoyed the music and wanted to play it on the radio, but you couldn’t say “Boogie Woogie”
Meaning that that redditor's CLAIM is that, in 1953, you still couldn't say boogie woogie. If we're to believe both of you, we have to conclude that in the 1920's black and white integration and jazz slang were acceptable, all the way through 1941, and then 50-year-old slang suddenly became unacceptable again.
None of this timeline makes sense.

Okay, think about what they just said. Rock and Roll was a way of navigating around the racially and class coded term "boogie woogie."
Now think about the lyrics of the song "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."
He blows it eight to the bar, in boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with him
He makes the company jump when he plays reveilleAnd when he plays boogie woogie bugle he was buzy as a bzzz bee
And when he plays he makes the company jump eight to the barHe puts the boys asleep with boogie every night
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat
He really breaks it up when he plays reveilleHe's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
So this is a song about a city man from Chicago who was drafted into the army but wanted to keep playing his "funky rhythm" which shook up the troops and made everyone jump and sing when he played. This basically a fish out of water song which were a common-ish theme at the time (another one of my favorites is Pink Shoelaces about a man who cares so much about his fashion he causes a fashion disturbance in the army, like the boogie woogie bugle boy causes a musical disturbance)
This doesn't contradict the existence of the song, it brings context and some tongue in cheek humor to the situation. He's playing "boogie woogie" music, they're not just celebrating that, they're pointing out the juxtaposition of him playing this style of music, even when he plays reveille, instead of the clean, dry bugle you would expect in the army.
Like that's the whole point of the song.

According to wiki (not linked in case this sub doesn't allow that) like Boogeyman, or Bogeyman (article title), has a long and distinguished history and etymology through many different languages and cultures. What the article doesn't cover is any connection between the common "Bogeyman" and how it became "Boogeyman". I wouldn't be terribly surprised if some racist jackhole decided to start saying "boogeyman" to try to link the Bogeyman and Boogie Woogie concepts and it stuck.

GPT-4:
The term "boogeyman" or "boogey man" or "boogie man" in American English refers to a mythical creature or an imaginary figure that is often used to scare children or to represent a vague, unknown threat. The word is derived from the Middle English word "bogge" or "bugge," which means a frightening specter or hobgoblin. This word is also related to the Old English "pūcel" (puck) and the Old Norse "púki," both of which referred to evil spirits or demons.
The etymology of "boogeyman" does not have racial connotations or a direct connection to "Boogie Woogie" music. Boogie Woogie is a style of blues music that originated in African American communities in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term "boogie" in this context is thought to have derived from the West African word "bogi," which means "to dance." The term "woogie" is a possible reference to the "jelly roll" blues, a style of music related to Boogie Woogie. Although both terms share the word "boogie," they have different origins and meanings.
In summary, the etymology of "boogeyman" and "Boogie Woogie" music are not related, and the term "boogeyman" does not carry racial connotations similar to those found in the history of Boogie Woogie music.

But what this gentleman is playing is straight Boogie Woogie just like it would have sounded back in the birthplace.
I really don’t want to be that guy, but that’s just not true. This is a very modern version of this style of music. In all likelihood, it wasn’t even called “boogie-woogie” back then. It was most likely called “fast western” (if it even had a name back then).
If you want to hear something that resembles more closely how it would have sounded, here’s a link to the earliest recorded boogie-woogie solo.
The most popular theory on how this style of music originated is the “train theory.” These musicians were trying to emulate the sound/rhythms of locomotives through piano. NOT because they were trying to be heard.
And as any pianist will tell you (and speaking as one), it requires very little effort to play loudly on piano. It’s always been a very loud instrument.
Anonymous black musicians, longing to grab a train and ride away from their troubles, incorporated the rhythms of the steam locomotive and the moan of their whistles into the new dance music they were playing in jukes and dance halls. Boogie-woogie forever changed piano playing, as ham-handed black piano players transformed the instrument into a polyrhythmic railroad train.

My Dad is 81. He grew up in a family of poor farmers in very rural Eastern Oklahoma. Turpentine and moonshine were the only “medicines” they had. Dad said his mom would give them a shot of turpentine for any kind of fever or cold. If they got cuts, they kept a barrel of coal oil (they pronounced it cool oil) that they’d put on the cut like ointment.

Gospel tried, for sure. Jazz, country and blues kind of all knew each other in the first half of the century. But gospel liked to be gospel as much as possible. But even if they didn't sing the gospel songs, all those country guys knew them from how they were brought up. The Million Dollar Quartet sessions are basically just a bunch of country r&r guys singing old gospel songs for an hour. Jerry's cousin was Jimmy Swaggert, lol.

The railroads were quintessential in spreading blues and rock and roll.
Old blues musicians used to jam on trains going from city to city.
in elmore james "dust my broom"
The rythem sounds like a train going over tracks.
And the slide guitar was invented to mimic the sound of a train whistle.
These guys would travel from town just jamming, speading music and picking up others or influencing the next generation.
Including a young man who was from:
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by they would stop and say "Oh my what that little country boy could play"
Theres even a thoery where reverb or slight echo in old rock and roll songs came from tryjng to mimic the reverb in old train boxcars

Never too late to start! Right notes are high, left notes are low, push them to make noise, the end.
In all seriousness, if it’s something you’re interested in, grab yourself an entry level digital piano, and a teacher. (Or do what I did and use YouTube and the internet for years and pick up every bad habit in the book and then get a teacher later anyway to fix it.) The initial learning does suck and is extremely boring, but pianos are one of, if not the, most powerful and versatile instrument. Once you ‘get it’, you can play just about anything.
In terms of just jamming and improv, that stuff typically is taught in Jazz piano more than classical. Ideally you would want a teacher who could teach both. Classical is great for technique/doing things by the book and Jazz is great for just having fun with it and making music.
I don’t play professionally or anything, I just play for fun. I just wish I knew how cool pianos could be sooner.

My mother is in her 80s and LOVES to bust out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida when she sees any piano she can get to. The reactions are amazing cause she's got her Grade 8 Conservatory and just nails it but looks like a very religious retired teacher, which she is!

I don't even have to click to know that my love of the Simpsons definitely influenced my poor mother LOL!
The best part of my mom is that she doesn't die at the end plus she LOVES pedals so she stomps away at them with such force she almost stands up at some points. She got on an old pipe organ in Europe a few years ago and the poor minister has to tell her 3 times he was closing the church up before she would leave!

She used to bribe my brother and I into going to church because we could stay after and she would rock out for us.
