  3. Great Stevie Ray Vaughan tune.

    George is good, but nobody did this like Stevie Ray did.

  5. I doubt there's a youtube version, but back in the late 60's thru mid 70's you could see Elvin Biship and band at any one of 3 or four larger hall venues in The City and he'd do this.

    Better than Stevie Ray, better than George T.

    But George does a fine version of it here . . . and so did Stevie Ray . . . but Elvin, he did it better.

    You kids . . . . huh. *G*

  9. No, you won't find Elvin bishop there Larue. Sorry about that! I saw Elvin Bishop with Albert Collins in a small venue. Man, it's a wonder there is ANYTHING left inside my earholes!

  10. Mr. Natural, I'm fussy about my blues.

    I like the oldies like the originals.

    Robert Johnson.

    I like the Chicago one's who plugged in to steal Townsend's music.

    I like thousands of others who did the blues . . .

    I like Butterfield and his bands, and the Howlin Wolfs and Cotton's and more he worked with and ripped from.

    I like the old dog's and I like the dog's who took their stuff and moved it one note further along the road of life and our ears.

    I like what Fleetwood Mac and all the Brit's did to the blues in the late 50's and early to mid 60's and beyond that . . . damn the Brits knew what to do with the blues long ago.

    And I'm still fussy about my blues. Cuz it's so damned boring . . . . outside of the genre's.

    I like bottle neck slide, I like 4 bars, I like 12 bars.

    But man, I'm fuckin fussy about how it's done.

    And that's that . . . ;-)
