My Babe

Yet another cover of Little Walter's My Babe.

What can I say about it ... I've been playing with that tune for the last few months but final breakthrough came with 'Ma Babe' backing track by Shoblues. There is a big difference playing along with a famous recording and playing alone with a backing track trying to reproduce accurately what you've been practicing with the recording :-) . First you feel like you've left your crutches away and don't know where you are .... continue reading...

Done Some Body Wrong

This was from a night out with the boys recorded on an H4. A neat little toy to have around. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to catch what you're doing out there and how important it is to be own critic. Remember you can't be in two places at once and you get a truly objective account of whats goin' on. If you really want to get brave, video and you can work on your stage presents while you're at it. By the way we were playing at a bar during the World Series Game last year and the crowd was rootin for the game, ( but not really in my mind ).

This tune was created while I was working on the Shuffle King contest. I got so frustrated and tired that I decided to create a diiferent song. As far as I can remember this piece needed just a few takes compared to my Shuffle King entry. I like it better than the tune I submitted.

Hello Guys!!!

I recorded this song a few months ago when a luthier from Argentina, Roy Harpman, repaired my super chromonica 270. His work is amazing, the price is fine and the time he takes is really fast.
I used my mic by Chuck Gurney and my Fender Champion 600. is not the sound that i like it but is good enough for practice and play in home....hope you like it!!!!!

Patricia's 'My Babe' inspired me to try out some singing. I'm in a similar place to Patricia, although I have tried singing at open mike nights, just two so far. So I thought i'd try learning and recording a song to increase my repertoire. This will now bring me up to the grand total of two, assuming I can remember these words.

Hank was brave enough to put a track with vocals on here - I am also trying to get up the courage to use vocals at jams etc. But I dont think I have a very bluesy voice unfortunately-oh well can only try.This is a cover of My Babe by the great Little Walter-hope I haven't wrecked it too much-sorry about sound-is recorded on my ipod mic no frills!!
