Tone Television-Ceriatone Expression-Bobby O's Blues

All right, I should explain these clips.

This is part one of a two volume set dedicated to an old lighting tech / friend of mine. Bobby Oakes. We worked together in the band Clockwork Orange for several years.

Bobby O. was a Rock and Roll genius.

The tricks he employed in his light show were YEARS ahead of the time.

We had moving trusses and par can lights that changed color back in 1986! He made all of the components himself!

Thousands of people enjoyed what he brought to the table.

He will be missed.
==========================================
Composed in the spirt of the Cresent City / New Orleans.

My version of a First line / Second line style of composition.

This is volume 1
A slow blues. My first line feel. First take-only take.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the last note of the piece, the music had faded out, but I kept on the last note (bending beetween the tonic and the dominant 7th)...and I swear I could feel his spirt in that feedback. Felt like it was passing through me.

It was the most amazing moment I've ever had playing the guitar.

And once I started thinking about it...the note went away...just like a spirt.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is volume 2- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h-mr46ZPlY

A rockin boogie. My second line feel.

Enjoy! AB.

I'm coming to the Winter Blues' Festival in Echuca so wanted to check out your music. Especially love your cover of Little Wing.

[AndyBaylor]

@bluzebaby Thanks a lot!! BUT...thats the southern hemisphere "Andy Baylor" playing the festival you mentioned ...I'm the northern hemisphere Andy Baylor. You can tell the difference in the breeds from our coats.

I have a thick one, to deal with the cold weather. whereas your Andy Baylor has a lighter coat on top ...not as cold down there...no snow, ice, etc.

Either way , we make wonderful pets! Loyal and trustworthy. :-) Thanks again! ab
