I didn't like the way he sang. He was my brother, but he just had a way (Sings) 'Saddle up my pony, hook up my black maaaaare...' I didn't like that!... Now he picks good, but he just brings that song out, like there's somebody choking to death - Sam Chatmon on Charley Patton, from Giles Oakley's The Devil's Music, BBC

99 Year Blues
« on: August 28, 2018, 11:29:01 AM »
I am in the process of trying to build a new youtube channel featuring only more recent and polished tunes, so as to have something to direct people to for potential gigs etc.  I am also trying out some new recording equipment.  So here is the result of the intersection of those two things!

This is a tune I've been playing for years now.  One of my "go to" tunes when playing out.  I think I;ve posted it on the back porch before in various states (including a very early 2005 posting) but this is the polished one for the new channel...

Nice one Simon!  love this song, loved your "old" version and this is really great.  Looks like you've got a lot goin on there but it seems to be working :)

Really a nice job, Simon!  Your time sounds really snappy and emphatic, and I like the clearer vocal tone with occasional gravel rather than continuous gravel.  You sound like you mean it!
All best,

Nice performance, Simon and great choice of material. I like those Julius Daniels pieces very much.

Thank you folks.  I will add some more to the channel over the next few weeks (including, perhaps, a few obvious ones which will be of less interest to Weenies!)

Well PP, I was going to add some RJ for some lowest common denominator commercial appeal :-) 

However, I got round to this tune first:

Continuing to fill up the new channel...  I'm conscious that this is another string snapper- but what the heck.  Its fun to play...

Another good one. (I'm off to see Alvin live in November.)

Thank you for the prompt PP.  I hadn't realised he was over in November.  I will see what I can do about getting over to New Milton.
