...in a car wreck in a little town called Mound Bayou Miss. I was visiting my mother. I drove 700 miles from Chicago. I was okay but on the return I fell asleep at the wheel. I was playing again the next day though. I never gave up. It cut my arm clean off and left it in the highway. Then I walked 2.5 miles to a girlfriend and picked up my arm and brought it on to Clarksdale. When the ambulance men come with stretchers, I was in bed smoking, so I drove back in front with the guys. I was in hospital for three days only. For a while I still had pain at night. As you know, fever rises at night and that's how it was - Big John Wrencher on losing his arm
Hi, everyone! I believe this is my second post in this forum. I'm country blues fan from Canada. Here is my take on "Kansas City Blues" by Jim Jackson, played on my 1920s Stella Grand Concert. Hope you all enjoy and please take care! Best.
Hi Alex, Your time really sounds good, and your playing has a nice easy flow to it, and your singing sounds good, too--you could afford to project a little more in your singing, for my taste. I'd be happy to hear it louder, relative to the guitar. Nice job! All best, Johnm

Thank you so much for the advice, John! I will work on that part. Hope you're doing well. Best to you!
That's great Alex, well done. Can I ask what kind of guitar you're playing?
Thank you Eric! It's a 1920s' Oscar Schmidt Stella Grand Concert size. I got it for cheap because it needs a neck reset, but plays okay for country blues. Hope this helps.
