hard sweaty work on Mississippi river towboats, Son House, Robert Johnson, John Hammond, Rory Block, Alvin Youngblood Hart, , the summer bluesgrass festivals at Grassy, The Tennessee Gentlemen, Dave Van Ronk, Leo Kottke, Carbondale Illinois, Charley Patton, really strong coffee..the kind of stuff that tastes like it's been on the burner all day, Pink Floyd, Bukka White, Catfish Keith, dirty truckstops, Doug MacLeod, Corey Harris, old Allis-Chalmers tractors, when the Mississippi flooded in 93'
..
Sounds Like
The kind of stuff you heard on the streetcorner that time you took the kids to Memphis. .
Foot-stompin', guitar smackin', screamin' and hollerin' delta blues. No froofy singer-songwriter tearjerkers thrown in between tracks....just blues. Some folks calls it roots blues, some calls it folk blues, some calls it delta blues, but everybody calls it blues. Done old school like it should be, one man and an acoustic guitar.

From heaven above arrives a fascination, It..s a personal, glory innovation To be honest, thankfull and true - Holy night, I trust in you, cause you give freedom to everyone, You spend much love and also fun. I treasure Christmas through the years, It..s a magic time, which disappears. But it comes back again and again, I..m indeed a Christmas - fan.
I wish you and your family a merry christmas Love & Peace
Hey Don, Great job at the CBA! I just got a 000-1 just like yours, great guitar. You do a much more traditional "Me & The Devil" than we do. Sounds killer!
