When you hear that bell ringing, can't you hear that whistle blow. Well I feel like leaving but I don't know where to go - Bumble Bee Slim, Bricks In My Pillow
Here's one that got caught on a small blues festival in Tartu, Estonia, about a year ago, and which of I only just learned about myself. I think it might interest people who wonder about singing a song in a different key, than the original piece was done. William Brown's Mississippi Blues was played out of the A position in standard tuning, and probably capoed up, so he would sound about in C. Even in A is too high for me to sing, so I transposed the song in E, still in standard tuning. I sing the melody my own way, though, and I have had to reverse the bass line to play it in this key, but hopefully I have managed to keep the basic idea recognizable.
Cheers,
Pan
Edited to add: apologies for the first 18 secs of electric blues guitar. :/

Wow, good for you, Pan! That is really great and inventive guitar playing and the vocal sounds really good, too. That last solo is really uptown--like it starting on that E6 chord up the neck. It's really cool to hear someone do something different with that song that still has the same mood as the original. Thanks for posting that. All best, Johnm
