He reminds me of two guys that had songs in 1955: Lenny Dee (Plantation Boogie) and Chuck Miller (The House Of Blue Lights) but he couldn't be either of those because the picture is too recent.

Hey Clyde....
In the same genre, do you remember a bit by Bob Sharples named Hurricaine Boogie?

No, I don't, and I don't see it in any of my Billboard compilations: TopPop, R&B or Bubbling.

It was a great bit of boogie-woogie. I had it on a 45 single, along with 'Sadie's Shawl' on the b-side. It was on London records. I'll try to find a sample somewhere, but it's a bit rare.

I see "Sadie's Shawl" by Bob Sharples, on London 1661. But the other side is not mentioned. I'll have to hear it to see if I remember it. It stayed on for fifteen weeks which was pretty good for a song that only got to #52 on October 27, 1956. It was popular at around the time of "Honky Tonk" by Bill Doggett, which I remember well, as a 12-year-old. By the way, since the record is "London" that reminds me that a lot of these songs were popular in Great Britain, as well, but at slightly different times.

Another fine piano instrumental, but not exactly boogie-woogie, was "Portuguese Washerwomen" by Joe "Fingers" Carr which got to #19 on July 28, 1956. It was a pleasant memory.
