Tampa Red (1904-1981), born Hudson Woodbridge, was an influential American musician. He is best known for his accomplished guitar playing in the blues field, but in a career spanning over 30 years he also recorded pop, R&B and hokum (see below) records. He was born in Smithville, Georgia, but later moved to Tampa, Florida, which became part of his nickname (the other part came from his red hair). Wikipedia
