@stephanegiovannelli Sometimes I still wish I was doing it.... thanks for the nice comment. I think the roots in the blues and in classical music are pretty much all of what makes modern popular music and jazz what they are today. Some body said blues is so simple it makes it hard to play. I have found that to be true.. until one is able to let go and use the ear. I wish I had learned this much earlier in life. Thanks again for your visit and comment Steph.
@martimax34 Oh my gosh Pascal. Such a nice thing to say. I take it to heart coming from such a good player as you. Haven't been over to visit you in a while. Will have to do that soon. Ciao for now... and thanks.
all my stars thumbs up magnificent promo i wish you were still doing this bro i favd this and you need to thank,, Kumhui,,,,,fts,,i seen this on her player ,,god bless ya both ,,,and a wonderful week to ya smiles ,,Kumhui's,,,bro
@bryanoverturf1 I really appreciate the favor Kumhui has done for me in putting this out to nice folks like you. Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
Lance, how you been? I know, I've been a complete stranger to just about everybody. Great playing, as always, and I love this program you put together about the Blues!
@klasek Wow Keith! It has been a long time. Glad you connected back up with me. Have written a lot of songs since we last collaborated. Check 'em out if you have time. Hope things are good in your world. Thanks for dropping by.
This is the best and the only educational and inspirational blues video I have ever seen. You really know your music!! I love your slide guitar also. And it's great to see that you included Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith and Big Mama Thornton. And I loved hearing you doing 'Come Together'.
Wow, I am absolutely in awe of you, Lance!!! Thank you. ~~Kumhui
@FrankRMusic Sorry about the war reference. I meant no offense. However, perhaps you missed something in the language. The song makes the point that things have changed for the better when "The French think we're arrogant and the Germans WON'T go to war." If anything, listening to our politicians, America is much more likely to go to war with anyone these days than the Germans are. I hope you understand that I meant this as a positive reflection on your country. But I do apologize for the image.
Hi Lance, thanks for sharing.........this video is informative and inspirational.
You not only have a great gift for singing and playing the blues, but also for a very engaging presenting style......Thanks again for sharing....Steve
You are awesome Lance! I agree about the blues, how true my friend! Thanks for sharing all the interesting facts about the blues music too!! OOooo loving that slide action!!! That evening sun is wonderful as well...reminds me of John Fahey's tunes..This video is packed with so many terrific jams!!! You amaze me!! *****
@Cameragirl803 Thank you Jane. It's nice to have such friends as you on youtube. By the way, have I told you that in addition to your great voice you also have beautiful hair? Well, you do. I am thankful for video so I can associate faces (and hair) with names. Best to you Jane.
Hey I Watched! Some Nice Story And You Play & Sing Something By Sweet Way! I'm Just Only A Guitar Player Who Sing And Play Feeling From My Soul And At The Moment Also Looking For Friends & Supporters To Make Some Music! I Don't Know Why There In Your Video Is Something About A Book Because I Think Nobody Want To Read Books But Yes I Know I'm Almost Very Alone Here And Like "Living Information Sharing"! Thank You For Doing Videos Here! I Give Thumbs Up! All The Best For Everybody! Feels By Assa!
Nicely done video, Lance! I really enjoyed watching this. Historic as well as entertaining. Nice feel to those phrases you did on the strat! You made that puppy talk.
What would the world be without the Blues,the root of all good things and Evil (slavery). It's very important to know the history of the your inspiration. I'm also from the generation who grew up on the inspiration of the Blues, Hendrix,Beck,Clapton,Rory Gallagher, Page. Ofcourse the rock was in there too but the Blues was the basics. Love your tone on The thrill is gone (nice lows and mid in your tone,very soulful) Great video Lance and I think this is your total direction,Vic.
@Jazzguts - Funny, was just talking to my bass player/college music professor friend the other night and he said something similar. "Just go with your strengths". I think there is something in the blues as a foundation for sure. But I'm finding a lot of what I call "Tourist Blues" here in Chicago. So I'm pitching what I do as "The New Blues" in that it give a nod to tradition but my lyrics are influenced by songwriters Like L. Cohen, R. Newman. etc. Blues with something new to say. Thx Vic.
Interesting, Lance, of all your videos this one has produced the highest percentage of lengthy comments.....seems most everyone has some connection with the blues. As you say, the blues know no boundaries of color or ethnicity and has a personal connection with us all. I guess if we lived in Panacea, no one would have the blues.....not sure that would be a good thing.
@bigbeninjax - like tps607 says below. I appreciate your in depth comment Ben.... Panacea isn't that the big ancient continent that all the dinosaurs lived on?.... or maybe it's a town near Detroit... I can't remember.
I wuz just thinking Lance, you should send this off to discovery channel, I think they might kust like to make a series outta this with you as anchor cos this has a very profesional & knowledable feel to it, I have not heard of hardly any of these souling singers,maybe it's time a tribute series is made before their names disappear for ever.I found it totally gripping, you are one entertaining anchor and commenter on this, You're is going into favs.& a playlist of the best of you tube.
@beachfrontal Wow David, thanks so much. Two things, one - I'm so jaded I don't think you can get anywhere in show business unless you know somebody that knows somebody with a lot of money and pull. And two - I'm probably at an age now that life is so full and at the same time challenging that a large project would be too much for me to handle with the other demands on my time. But thanks anyway. Nice to know I have the potential even though I probably won't act on it.
Hey Lance, I Really Wish I Can Sing & Playing The Blues On The Guitar Like You Do, My Very Talented Friend!! Then I Will Be Big & Famous Just Like You Are, Bro!! Lol!! Stay Blessed & Keep Those Awesome Blues Of Yours Right On A Comin', My Very Talented Friend!! Blues On, Bro!!
@BigWillieWillHom I don't know how old you are Willie but probably you will have a lot more time too work on it than I will. Besides it's not getting to the end of the journey that counts, it's being on the path... right?
Wow!! Hey Lance, This Is So Really Great, Wonderful & Awesome On Your Incredible Amazing Documentary Of Your Wonderful Awesome Blues Guitar Playing Singing On The Roots Of The Blues, - "Sing Them Blues"!! You Are A True Blues Man And Definitely A Pro At Playing & Singing The Real And Great True Blues!! Keep On Doin' You & Playing And Singing Those Awesome Blues, My Best Blues Bro!! A Huge Triple Thumbs Up!! Stay Blessed & Blues On. Bro!!
I love the blues. Good effort Lance.You put your own brand of mustard on the story. I feel blessed that I was able to see some of those legends perform in my youth while they were still active.And the young whites guys performing old blues songs were, for me, an introduction to a world I might otherwise have missed i.e. "Love in Vain". Now, if we could just stuff all of the politicians into the Space shuttle and ship them all off to Mars the world might really change for the better ;-)
@kiaweking Maybe they're already on Mars..... but if not, I agree. Maybe Alpha Centari would be better. Thanks for the great comment. Much appreciated.
@archtopbrownie I was attempting to come from a compassionate perspective. I think originally R. Buckminster Fuller had suggested the sun as an appropriate destination for politicians. You have certainly done your homework on blues history. I'd guess that, like me, you enjoyed the movie "Oh brother Where Art Thou"?
@kiaweking Oh yeah. Some great music and I loved the acting... funny and a real period piece. Love it when a movie takes me to another place and time.
really enjoyed this Lance. ur voice on ive been changed sounded like you were in the mississippi delta 100 years ago, excellent. and that dobro sounded like it was being played by Robert Johnson or Skip James. great tale and walk thru history of the blues. strat sounds great too. Chicago must be a great place to live for a blues fan. the influence of blues is just so undeniable,from summertime to the stones and right up to today. Big bass line playin thumbs up. Gavin,
@zneella Hey Gavin - Can see you went all the way to the end and that ain't necessarily easy with a video that's almost 15 minutes long. Your in depth comment was just great to read. Thanks a lot.
Really like 'the thing's have changed' archie, is that of yer own? And many thanks for sharing your knowledge on the history, mine's broken but im trying to piece together despite the objections thanks again and i look forward to hearing much more.:)
Btw your one cool cat dont let anyone tell u different.
@urquiza78 It helps to have someone as tuned in as you are to Robert Johnson and the like thinking I'm "one cool cat". I appreciate that. I'm gettin' a little long in the tooth but hey, in my head I'm 25. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
@urquiza78 I'm sorry to say that only the two verses about eminem and Tiger Woods and the French and the Germans are mine. The rest I got from Anson Funderburg - you may not have heard of them but they are a very solid traditional blues band. For myself, I like to think .... in my original material... I am offering what I call "New Blues". I'm influenced by everyone from Tom Waits to Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen to Steve Earle. I like the blues but I like for the lyric to have something to say.
