Here is an essay written by 8th grader, Veronica Lewis this month on... Miss Webster. Thank you for the submission!!
If I could go back in time I would choose to meet Katie Webster, a pioneer of the boogie woogie piano genre. Her original boogie woogie songs are among the best ever recorded. Katie’s piano playing and singing have an excitement and energy that no one else ever captured. She created a unique sound with her phrasing, tempo and her exuberant passion for Boogie Woogie. She is known as the Swamp Boogie Queen, and performed all over world. As a Boogie Woogie piano player, my passion for this style of music has been fueled directly by listening to her songs and rearranging them for my performances. I would be thrilled to meet her, sit next to her on the piano bench, and watch her play in person. Ms. Webster has inspired me to pursue my musical dreams to the fullest extent. Like Katie, I aspire to create music and perform for people all over the world. One of my favorite lyrics from Katie is "I taught this old piano how to shake, rattle and roll. I took the Blues from Houston Texas, and I ‘m giving the world my soul ". That means a lot to me because I will always put my whole heart and soul into whatever I pursue. Having a passion that you fully develop to share with others is my ultimate goal. This summer I paid tribute to her when I played and sang one of her songs at the Barnful of Blues Festival. It is important that I play her songs to keep her music alive. I also admire her resilience and perseverance. Ms. Webster pursued her career despite the opposition of her family, and a music world that did not welcome women at that time. At one point she retired to raise her family, then returned to to give her most acclaimed performances ever. At the end of her life, Katie suffered a stroke and lost the use of her left hand. Incredibly, she continued to entertain audiences with her amazing right hand techniques. I painted her portrait in folk art style this summer, and display it on top of my piano for inspiration. Also, I plan to contact her recording label Alligator Records to see if I could meet her family someday and thank them. הצג עוד
If you've never heard Houston's own Swamp Boogie Queen, Katie Webste...r, play the piano, you should give these songs an honest listen. Katie, who was born in 1933 and passed away in 1999, was previously the piano player for Otis Redding, among others. Here she is singing one of Otis' most famous songs. She was one of a kind, a tremendous talent, and I feel very fortunate to have seen her live a couple of times at Antones in Austin.

There are many other Katie Webster songs on YouTube. Her most famous is probably "Red Negligee," which is hilarious. הצג עוד
