Brother Bones

Brother Bones

Brother Bones has been played on NTS shows including Open Hand Real Flames , with Margie first played on 17 February 2021.

Freeman Davis (October 4, 1902 – June 14, 1974) was an American whistling and bone playing recording artist best known by his stage name Brother Bones.

Davis, born in Montgomery, Alabama, is best rememberd for his 1949 recording of the 1925 standard "Sweet Georgia Brown". It became internationally famous after being adopted as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in 1952. Notably, the bass line for this track uses the Novachord, a very early electronic synthesizer more prominently featured on the B side of the record. Despite the success of this record, Brother Bones himself remained relatively unknown.[
