@trishmcginn Thanks Bill.... I really wish I could have seen John play this live... must have been amazing! Thanks so much for your compliment.. much appreciated! I got a septic thumb trying to learn this one... but I loved those bass runs so much I couldn't stop.

Danny FINE playing did you learn by yourself by ear or from somewhere else ? 5 stars :)

Hi Jesse...I learned it from the John Jackson 1984 video here on youtube.

Its a bit similar to Blind Lemon's Matchbox Blues which I already know. Tricky one to play though. Take care, Dan

I wasn't optimistic when I stumbled upon your video but decided to watch it anyway, just because I love that tune by John J. Wow, was I surprised. Your guitar work is spot on. You got some talent there, young man. I'm happy you are sharing it with the world.

@trishmcginn I must say this Bill, you guys sounded AWESOME everytime we saw you guys together!

[trishmcginn]

Danny must tell you that John would indeed be proud of the really fine job you do on his song. I heard him play it live so often I got spoiled - great job...

You make your mama proud guitardan! It's not often that a song can be covered and sound as good as the original. I love John Jackson's version of this song, but your version is right up there with him.......including your singing. Do you have any CD's on the shelf? Rock on.....(From a 70 year-old grandma who loves de blues.)
