Old blues done by Snooks Eaglin. 'Traditional or possibly written by Mr. Eaglin.

Played on a ho-made tenor resonator guitar in Chicago DGBE tuning. Played in A with an Iowa saxophone in A.

First video from the new house and den. That helps me feel even more at home. :)

Thanks, Jim.  Kayaks are at our son's place as he lives across the road from Don Williams state park and lake.  Reputedly a good crappie lake.  I will give it a try.  Hey, I think the acoustics are better/truer in the new den too!   :D

Ha, Jim.  I will crank up the amp.  Thank you, sir.

It might take a few months to get the walls all vibrated in properly. This is a real good start!

Hey, Pick.  You forgot to mention ignoring my calls.  We did fine and I suspect that if you lived close by you would have offered to help.  That's how you are.

Thanks, Steebos.  I do to.  Check out the Snooks Eaglin video on youtube.  Hear it done right!

I dig it. Sho nuff.

Thanks, Dave.  I can find my hat.  I can't find my Kindle or a few other things.  Maybe we will in time.  Linda is missing all her spatulas.  Did you 'borrow' them for guitar tail pieces?

Thanks, Denbo.   The place feels like home, especially after both sons and other  family were around today.  A very good day and I am thankful.

Thanks, Alan.  The new den is quite a bit like the old one with the exception that now I have a good sized closet to hide guitars and gear.   I wish you'd bring beers and your paint brush and a couple gits for Sunday.

Well Done 'UJ', you look very comfortable and at ease in your new "Mansion" (is it on a hill? 'attempt at a bit of Hank humour'), and also nice to see you back, it's been a bit of a Bummer lately with yourself and Dave both missing, for what seemed like an eternity  :-)

Loose yer hat? Very nice homecoming Uncle. Fun to be in your new home in a sparse room. But old friends around. Looking good Unc. Oh Happy Day!

Thanks, Andries.  Yup, settling in and happy.  Lots to do for a while, but it's good. 

I forgot that Snooks was blind.  Too bad that on some of these old songs that it's unclear who wrote them.  I heard it by Mr. Eaglin.
