I used to have one of these little Kalamazoo's - just like yours. Bought it in a pawn shop for fifty bucks. Thought I was really clever a little while later when I sold it for $500. I imagine they're worth a lot more now. I have way toooo many of those type of stories.
Great tune and great performance. Got your lesson and I'm trying to learn it but those "F" chords are finger stretching and I've only got little hands! (that's my excuse).
Very Nice!!!

Pretty much a mix of Long Tall Mama, Shuffle Rag and whatever else I threw at it.

You're right - I've almost got the first verse - very slowly, of course! But it's great fun learning it. I just love those single string licks!

Keep working at it buddy. Believe me... I have real small fingers as well. Just takes some time but you'll get it.

Toby, it sounds like Big Bill, but as You say, its The New Shuffle Rag !
5 up and Peace !

Thanks Urban. I've tried to keep the flavor of Big Bill while adding in some of my own ideas. Hopefully it will inspire others to do the same.

One of my favorite Big Bill tunes. I just watched you play it three times. Superb!
