Minglewood Blues ~ virtually live from Callyfest.

I love the tune of this old blues whether played slow (like here) or fast.

Minglewood Blues - possibly written by my favorite harp player, Noah Lewis, of the Memphis Jug Band.

Callyfest may be virtually real only in some of our minds. But the people are friends, the music is good, the seagulls are crapping, the salt air smells good, the beer and food is cheap and tasty, the water is warm enough for wading.

And the nude beach is hard to find. So far, I can not find it.

Thanks to Richard Sundberg and all of you contributed and participated.

PS: I have photos of Pick.

Jim, most self respecting women would not bother with such a small kingdom.  Thanks, buddy.

Richard, it was good to meet you in person.  I was surprised at that big Minnie Mouse tattoo on your back.  I do like good art.  Thanks for the code, but I just followed my interests.

Forgot to give you the all important code to find the nude beach: FTL! Follow the ladies! But I see you made it, and it was finally great to met you in person. You have a face I won’t forget!

Well done Unc. Don't you never let no woman rule your mind!

Comment by Uncle John on February 3, 2018 at 3:19am

Thanks, Derek.  I think your pretty missus is doing you a favor.  Better do as she says!

Yup, Dave.  That one is acoustic only.  I have a few other projects and then I am eager to make a similar canjo and likely a colorful one.

Thanks, Bear.  A pretty classic blues.  I like the jug band version best and first heard it by my fave modern bluesman, Guy Davis.  Maybe check it out on youtube?

Gees, Diggly.  That is kind of scary.   The guys finally freed me and I am here at Callifest.  Where are you?  Where are you?  We were looking for you?

Me too, Milt.  On the good side, I lost a few pounds and improved my Spanish.  I am going to walk the straight and narrow from now on, henceforth, right away and forever.  Maybe.

Good to see you made bail.

I though you were in the joint in Mexico !   Was that fake news ?

Well at least this doesn't sound like fake blues - nice work Uncle John :-)

There's problems with the crapping seagulls at my Califest.  They're after my food !

In strong voice Uncle John. Not heard this one before but wow I love it!

Comment by Dave Lynas on February 2, 2018 at 5:54pm

I listened again. That little banjer is acoustic? Didn’t see any cord. It’s purity loud and tuneful Uncle. I like your tuning. I love the neck colors. Maybe the banjer top needs color?

Sounds good Unc. Harp, git and vocal. My wife only let's the most ugly and bitter girlfriends hang 'round.

Comment by Uncle John on February 2, 2018 at 2:04pm

Good plan!  Where is my code word?   Thank you, Rich.  It is a great fest!
