Greetings from Georgia, USA

Al, I hope you (and Mr. Howlett) do keep the “bluke tubes” coming! I only wish I’d found your tabs before I worked this one out rather than after. For your next effort, I recently discovered that “Dust My Broom” and “Statesboro Blues’ are almost identical in structure… so how about killing two birds with one stone?

Well I never – of course in true blues style it is never played the same twice so sterling effort trying to tab out my stuff. I think I’ll do some more youtube stuff…

hillfield: I have trouble learning stuff from videos – I always have to tab them out before I can really get it.

Mark: You’re welcome.

yeah, spotted that a few weeks ago, and it did take me a while to follow what he was up to, even on the well explained first bar – the joy of the blues, playing variations every bar, eh? thanks for the tab – look forward to having a play through it

ron: I think that’s why I’ll never be a true blues man – I never wake up with a pressing need to find footwear.

todd: I should do. If only so I can use the word ‘Bluke’.

Rob: I know what you mean, I’ve been drawn in by the occasional story – and usually end up wishing I hadn’t.

Great idea and a great song Al. I read in a spiritual book once that you shouldn’t watch, or read the news. I go thru periods in my life when I follow that advice ,and find I’m better off for it. Something always calls me back though, the election, a hurricane,the economy, whatever.Today I swear off news media once again.

I think this is a great idea Al,

are you compiling a series of “Bluke Tubes”

Woke up this morning, couldn’t find my shoes. Couldn’t fill spoons full of coffee, couldn’t fill spoons full of tea. Must have been born under a bad sign – if it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have no luck at all. The thrill is gone…
