Comment by Tramp Guitars on April 28, 2016 at 10:03am: Slow and sweet like pulled pork. Tasty. Keep on strumming.

Comment by Uncle John on July 18, 2015 at 2:15am: I think this is the best - at least my favorite- of all the good stuff you've done. The whole band has it going and so slow and soulful.

Comment by Maddog on July 17, 2015 at 5:18pm: Good good stuff Nigel!!!

Comment by Uncle John on July 17, 2015 at 1:42am: Neat camera angle. A boat load of good blues and a hat full of soul. Got it going here!
