If you want to learn how to make songs yourself, you take your guitar and you go to where the road crosses that way, where a crossroads is. Get there, be sure to get there just a little 'fore 12 that night so you know you'll be there. You have your guitar and be playing a piece there by yourself... A big black man will walk up there and take your guitar and he'll tune it. And then he'll play a piece and hand it back to you. That's the way I learned to play anything I want - Tommy Johnson, to his brother

Delightful! Is Ray Norris a member hereabouts?

Thank you mate, this song alone with Blakes One Time Blues is so beautiful that I get lost in my own little world whenever I hear Blake play it. Can't fault this performance either, I wish there were players like you in my local area, but I wouldnt wish that upon you, around here we are expected to pay for the "privelidge" of paying $5 or $10 to play for people, ahh good ol Australia and its total apathy for talent,, oops got sidetracked,, Blind Blake does that to me as I said before.... I think I'll play this one again.... and again.  thanks.

She pulled a gun and broke my jaw

That great riff at the tail end of the verses always gets me, I still can't get that part, I find Chump Man Blues a lot easier to play
but even though parts are the same, it's the parts that aren't I have trouble with. I don't have one of those slow the song
down things that keep it in key, (what do they call those things ?), that would be a great help to me, especially with Blake stuff.

I found the site with the Tab on this from your link, for some reason I can't get the TabEdit thing to bring up the Tab for this
even though I downloaded file 6 times. Anyone know how to get these Tabs working please let me know.

ArthurBlake,

If you drop me a line to steve.mcwilliam@btinternet.com I will happily mail you a copy of the tab for this one.  Don't know why your copy of TablEdit is refusing to work with your copies of the tab downloaded from the website - it works fine from here !!  But, as I say, glad to mail you a copy.

Cheers and keep on pluckin;.

Steve
