Thanks again folks. Western music comes straight out of the church, in fact for a long time it was illegal to play music for any other reason. In Greek mythology Orpheus, lord of the underworld, was the musician. Archelogists have uncovered evidence that the first musical instruments appeared around the same time that organised religous activities began and people first started coming together in large groups. The blues is still my church though.

Superb. And I agree about the church and gospel influence. I'd imagine you could trace religion and music just about all the way back to the beginning.

I think you're absolutely right about that Patrick. Now I gotta start going to church again!

Masterful stuff Patrick. Well done mate awesome version of a classic tune. Think you handled the recording issues really well. The microphone seemed to pick up a few background noises as well as your super singing and playing. Good on you.

Thanks again gentlemen.

And Jim I wonder whether one reason for this is that all of these styles owe so much much to their roots in the church. I've often heard it said that rock and roll was a mix of blues and country, Elvis said that he got it from listening to R&B on Saturday and church music on Sunday. Son House and Willie Johnson sang sprituals, Ray Charles played gospel, Aretha Franklin.......
