Etching by one R.Van Rijn

I think I saw some old man and he was real good on the guitar, on the chords, and he didn't sing that good, just play something like that, and I copied some of that and put the words to it. And Blind Blake used to have something kinda in that style. He would play in that style and I thought he was a real good guitar player. Nice chords. Played finger style. - Jesse Babyface Thomas explains how he wrote Blue Goose Blues, interview in Shreveport, La., ca. 1989

Yeah, I've listened to it a number of times now, really nice, very beautiful. I hear a little bit of There's a Destruction, but lots of other stuff going on too. I agree with frankie, it's like one of those moments where he was caught on tape just playing. ("just playing." hah. but you know what I mean.) It also has a very clear melodic arc that sounds simple but ain't.
