If you was white, you'd be alright, if you was brown, stick around, but as you's black, oh, brother, get back, get back, get back - Big Bill Broonzy, Black, Brown and White
I've had the great pleasure for the last few days of the house to myself and no responsibilities and have been able to re- aquaint myself with my guitars.
I took the opportunity to record a few bits and pieces- so here is the first of them. Its pretty simple as Blind Blake tunes go but figuring out how to sing over the double thumbed bass has taken a while.
Mr O'muck... Ding! The lightbulb has come on. You are absolutely right. Amazing how a lyric can become completely fixed in your head even though it makes no sense :-)

Nice job, Norkfolk Slim. BTW, Dylan titled one of his records (the acoustic ones from the 90s in which he covered a number of country blues, including You're Gonna Quit Me) Good As I Been to You.

Guitar playing is once again off the agenda most days for fear of waking the little one, but it was a productive weekend!
Slim, speaking as a father of three (now grown up), we were recommended by a friend never to be quiet when they were babies. They get used to the noise (as long as it's not ridiculously loud) and you can live normal lives (including playing Blind Blake tunes) when they are asleep in bed. If you pussyfoot around, you're making a rod for your own backs. The sounds of everyday living can even be comforting for small children. If you want to change your habits now (I recollect your little one was born a little time ago), remember that kids are highly adaptable.
