Old minor key blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson. Done here on a 3 string cigar box guitar and Iowa Saxophone.

The song is also known as 'One Kind Favor'.

I do this song on 1,3,4 5 and 6 strings. I use a different style on open tunings. Got some harp added this time and playing a relic DGB three for kind of a sparse sound that I think suits the mood.

Nicely performed Unc J.  Beautiful rendition of a lamentable dirge.

 Well done! Excellent. You and your music always bring a tap to my feet and a smile to my face, Uncle John. Thank you.

Thanks, Doug.  It's a fun and not difficult song with DGB.

Ha, Pick.  Good job.  More power to you.

Thanks, Brian.  Yeah.  Now that I read what you said and listen, the song does have a march thing going.

Fret buzz!  Dave?  I am unfriending you and giving your phone number to a bunch of telemarketers.  You NEED an extended warranty on your car and they can sell it to you.  Just kidding my friend.  I do hear some buzz.  Some me and some the old three.  I just picked it up, looked it over.  String height is good.  For some reason it take a stronger then usual press to fret it.  Gees, I bet those strings are several years old.  It  has a fret gone missing too.  Ha, one I never use.  I may get that fret replaced and try some new strings. Thanks to you.  Will improve the relic.

Thanks, Kale.  I appreciate it.

Your voice is in very fine form Unc. The fret buzz even works on this one.

Great job on this one uncle, it really has that old time funeral march vibe to it! High 9’s :)
