Good job on Walkin Blues, Son's Blues etc above. I might try sometime to learn Son's Blues.... So many good songs. Hey, Sir, I stole your idea regarding calling Brickdust's box, 'the box a' blues.' Made one myself. It is in my photos.
Awesome Blues Norm--the tinny acoustic is truly "the sound" authentic......least to my ear...!! I'm hoping I've got the right one, #5 ?Walkin Blues?..dug it, --and the nice green tuners on the gears...Ace of Spades guit is very cool!!!
Hi Norm - Thanks for your comment on that recent vid recorded by one of my work colleagues. You asked about the lick at the start - I think it's a bit of my 3 string version of little red rooster. It goes - strum all strings open, then slide up to the 5th, 3rd then open, then up to the 12th on the top string. That's about it. Let me know how you get on.
Norm, thanks for the comment on my "bottles vid". And actually a cd is in progress. I will let you know when it's available. I may do a limited free download
Got some even more "off the wall" ideas, involves micing up various everyday objects with a home made piezo mic and "playing" them. Got ideas on "playing" my workshop first. Ha!

Thanks for the comment back Norm - I'm hoping to get some time during the Xmas break to record another tune or two, thanks for asking.
I really like the old time feel that you have captured in your recording. Inspiring stuff :-)
Hey Norm - sorry i only just replied not being able to get online all day must be all the cyber shoppers online jamming up the web !
