Floyd Dixon: Hey Bartender

Very rare video footage of Floyd Dixon doing Hey Bartender. Floyd was a popular blues piano player in the 1950s. In his later years he played frequently in the LA area. Of course, the Blues Brothers re-popularized his hit song Hey Bartender in 1980. The video abruptly ends, but it is the only footage I have found of the great Floyd Dixon, which is a shame, because he was one of the great jump blues piano players of his day.
