Marshall - The Birthplace of Boogie Woogie Marker Dedication Ceremony

"Jack Canson and John Tennison did an incredible amount of research to prove that what was the folktale is reality; and spent years proving that Boogie Woogie did start in Marshall,” said City Commissioner Gail Beil, who also serves as the HCHC historic marker chair.

She shared how Canson, a local researcher and promoter, joined forces with San Antonio Boogie Woogie expert and musicologist, Dr. John Tennison, to bring awareness of the musical genre`s heritage in Marshall.
