Jandle wrote:That was really good Russell, sat back and just chilled listening to it, so good.
Thank you! I think there are some songs which never get old or out of fashion and the blues offers up quite a few
Baldguitardude wrote:Listened to this twice. You have kind of a Ray Charles vocal vibe happening.
EDIT: Three times now. Great work man.
Glad ya liked it and Thanks for the comments, I think my vocals kind of get a little raspier each year 
lot of low notes I used to be able to hit but not anymore but on the bright side a lot of notes on the upper end I seem to not struggle with
CurtRHCP wrote:Nice cover Russell!
You nailed it ;-)
Appreciate the kind words, Curt, I like the oldies they seem to make a lot more sense then the "new" stuff we find on TV or the web at least to me

Thanks Top! Yeah it has been a while and before I videotaped this I had a student who took up 2 hrs of my time and I came home and practiced for a hour and a half and was really tired but this song would not go away so I set up the cam and just played it without any effects or backing tracks which is kinda unusual for me. lol
This is always a fun tune to do on acoustic I chose this particular song only because it was buzzing around my head and the mood I was in.

I have played some really tough gigs throughout my musical life including a band involved fist fights the worst was in Lahaina Maui our temporary drummer made a racial insult to a Philipean customer and all hell broke loose the entire audience came after the band! punches and kicks everywhere till the bouncers stepped in and order was restored he (the drummer) left the island and it was a while before we could get back to peaceful terms with the locals
I like all my guitars they each have a tonal personality that is unique. My LP is bread and butter next is my Modern players Tele and then my Texmex Strat around my pad I mostly play my Hohner electric acoustic when I am learning a song or composing and of course my Squire it has its merits too and combined they are my harem lol
Hi Pete good to see you back here
There is a free program I have been using for over 10 years called Picasa and once an image is selected from your photos you can downsize it to any amount of pixels and export it to a designated folder or location it is a totally free download it has a lot of handy effects to adjust a photo for contrast and sharpness in addition to cropping and putting text on the photo
Merry Christmas to you Bill and Dondra have a wonderful holiday season
Yep that's boogie-woogie she sure is talented

John Monteleone ... terrific story behind the beautiful song, and the beautiful guitar.

very beautiful story and the song is touching love Knophlers story on this thanks Phill
Martin or Gibson that is all.go with the best.
Why a Gibson Les Paul? I own one and there is no better guitar in this universe, sure it cost me( about 3 grand) but there is no guitar quite like a Les Paul for tone, action and it's awesome period. behold a Les Paul without effects straight thru an amp no reverb or other effects all the sustain comes from the guitar and of course 50 years experience.

Not necessary amps and devices more of skill and action on the frets some people can play any guitar and make it sound great (skill) others rely on effects but it still comes down to the guitar you choose and that depends on the genre of music your playing

I'll take it!
I just wanted to say it is so pleasant to log in and not see tons of spam and get to read things that are interesting.
Phill a Spot on performance and the audience really enjoyed it.
I agree with Beamer we could use some input, I am into slide blues and older rock (Joe Walsh, Muddy Waters etc..) I think if you can upload your material to a site that hosts it all you need to do is copy and paste the address. I would like to extend a big Welcome to Chordie to you and happy holidays.

I play guitar and sing through a Fender Passport 150 amp. Sometimes I link in a laptop and sing over karaoke tracks as well...and that is the problem.
The only way i could figure to get the laptop to play through the amp was using a cable from the 3.5mm headphone socket on the laptop to the 6.35 mm input on the amp. I have had loads of cables using adaptors either end and they all work for a while but the connections are not great and anyone treading on the cable or anything knackers it all up. All in all it is a weak link in my performances and it is doing my head in.
Is there any alternative way to connect the laptop to the amp? Or are the cables and adaptors I am using the issue...would something more expensive work better?
Any advice is much appreciated.
I would put a disk in and record all the songs then you could pause and play each song when you are ready in a CD player using cables to your amp
When I was a teen I listened and danced to Blueberry Hill and Aint that a shame also watched him on TV then in my later years I was playing with a band the "Greenmen" in Shreveport Louisiana and we backed up Fats at the club we were also booked into he was an easy going guy and a great entertainer RIP "Fats"
