Trying to ease the pain

Low F harp, Bug's one man band practise... and you thought traffic was harder now!

Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain
Takin' pills and cheap whiskey, just to try to ease the pain

It's hard to gamble when you lose every bet
Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt
The blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brain

I made some mistakes, had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches
Blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain
My life is like water, just swirlin' down the drain

Tried standin' up, keep on fallin' down
Tried standin' up, keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go the blues is all around

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!

in 1905
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. (Shocking!)

There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.

More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home.

1. Pneumonia and influenza

Comment by BUGGY (C) on September 3, 2019 at 3:12am: Thanks Bob... I have a few harps now so maybe I should try do a review sometime..

I mainly play open G tuning a lot so mainly play mainly a C harp, them low tune ones sound nice though.

The Sidel big six blues harp has no bum notes for blues so you can't really go wrong whatever you play lol... usually that works for me ;>)

Comment by Bob "Ambrose" Negus on September 2, 2019 at 10:04pm: Great vid and Outstanding performance!... accompanied by very some useful information

Comment by BUGGY (C) on September 2, 2019 at 9:42pm: Open G = 1/5/7 low C or C harp diatonic , the low F harp means playing blues in C which as the cbg is open G means playing up the neck or with a capo. for Open D use a G harp etc see below etc

Comment by BUGGY (C) on September 2, 2019 at 8:28pm: Hohner special 20 are good, Im a keen fan of the turbo harp (but it doesnt hold to my mic stand), and sidel big six when its stuck on ya mic stand (the box set is all you will ever need)

the Sidel sound warmer as has brass and wood comb.. also susuki are quite nice

Lee oskar's sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you dont but you can change the reeds for £14 which is cheaper than buying a new one
