I grew up with this music. My family is old school blues and this brings back memories. Great job and I like how yall dont over play it. This was porch music where I came from. Thank you guys for this from the bottom of my heart. I close my eyes and enjoy.
hey Jim, can you just pick up your guitar and play all these songs if you don't practice them for awhile? say you haven't played West coast Blues for some time; does it take a few practice sessions to get it back down, or do you just have it in the memory bank?
@bucksofbourbon Hi, A great question. Like most musicians, I've got a core list of of about 30 songs that I play in public. I play parts of these most days, so they are spot on and automatic. I've moved away from ragtime in public performance a little, and so it makes up about 25% of the core list. All the other ragtime songs learned over the past 40 years or so are still in there (somewhere), and it generally takes a week or so playing it every day to bring it up to speed. Hope that helps. Jim
@acoustictravellersl thanks for getting back to me!! your response is reassuring, i'm going back through all of Blind Blake's stuff. the version of blake's breakdown from finger Style guitar magazine # 15 is really killin me. i used to have it down, but now it's giving me some trouble after a few days a working it out. BTW , love your playing!!!! keep posting the vids, we really appreciate them.
I still wish you were my neighbors lol. I'd bring youa glass of Lemonade... Looks like a Martin to me,??. but maybe with heavier gauge strings. Personally I find the Martin's a little too "top end" sounding but that that is just my opinon of course. What ever you're playing sounds great to me.
@wildredone Hi - thanks for you message. I remember that guitar well. It was a Yamaha I bought about 200 dollars some years ago. I play pretty hard - the neck pulled away from the body after a while. The strings were lights. I think expensive guitars are over rated - Muddy Waters said ' give me any guitar and I'll make you cry '
..i'm Leo from Argentina..and i'm the biggest fan of yours !!!!...tell me if you have a CD...i play blues too...come to Argentina to play blues with me !!!!!
Awesome!! For me absolutely the best performance of this blues"Robert Johnson classic" on You Tube! My best compliments to you, Ken Mayall and Jim Bruce!!!
Oh, Myyyyy. I gotta learn to play guitar like that. That means I gotta go out and buy another D28. Think of a 70 year old white women playing and singing this good. ---O'Ross
