Anniston native Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport & Troy native Clarence "Pine Top" Smith didn't invent boogie woogie piano playing but they both can be given credit for introducing the American public to this wonderful music. The Cleveland Blues Society inducted Cow Cow into the inaugural class of the Cleveland Blues Society Hall of Fame and prepared an excellent video that shows how Cow Cow influenced everyone from Ray Charles to The Yardbirds to Aerosmith.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjUXo2FuN6g
