Good old traditional blues done by many from Huddie Ledbetter on to modern day.

Nice one UJ- Mr L would be proud of you. Good loud git too!

I envy you your ability to play AND sing/ blow- never could do it myself. Can't sing at all tbh...

Thanks, Andries.  I think for me it is like Wes said.  Simple can be real good.  I play with so many good players that it is tempting to attempt to emulate them.  But on my own, simple is best.

Basement jam today.  Come on over.

Yup, Jim.  I looked to see if I had previously done this song for a video and found Dan Sleep's version and liked it a lot - and was kind of surprised how similar he did it to how I do.  It was good to see and I think later on I will try to repost Dan's. 

Yeah, Brian.  Played with a pick, especially, some of these pressed fiber boxes have decent acoustic volume and sound.  I like them. 

Thanks for the kind words, Danny and Rich!   Oh, crap, Rich.  You are in trouble now - I have an idea.  Will message you.

Thanks, Dave.  We had some of that wild fire smoky air too and lots of rain of late.  Today is gorgeous.  Linda and I had a nice run.  Basement jam today with Ted, Doc, Patti and maybe Ron.  Come on over.   Beer Run.

Thanks, Clarky.  I was playing with a band about ten years ago.  An odd assortment of 6 good singers, two pretty good musicians and 4 hack musicians (I was in the hack group.).   We were playing at an out door fest and I had a harp solo.  I had brain freeze and played the wrong song.  It was the right key and it sounded okay - just a little bit odd.  I think it was on this song.

Thanks, Jim.  Good to have you back.

Good job Unc. The harp the singing and playing - all great!

Sounds great Uncle John, nice harmonica playing!

Watched again Uncle. Good morning blues. It’s been rainy for days. Supposed  to be sunny today. Off to the garden. Alberta wild fires still bringing us Smoke here in Duluth. On the weather forecast they say “Sunny today with periods of Smoke”. Hard to get used to that.

Gets better each listen Uncle! An uplifting passionate performance perfecto!  That box rings out  the perfect tone for this tune.
