Grah, hope you get over Covid soon. Good cover only thing lacking was a harmonica solo. Your guitar and voice and guitar worked good in the true Blues tradition.
Cheers Peatle ,I'm afraid a harmonica would probably finish me off at the moment .My harp playing however is very much in the Bob Dylan style i.e. pretty bad but just bearable.Lol When we do this song with the band Robert uses an electric harmonix C9 Pedal which makes his guitar sound like an organ and I play a distorted solo against it. This works pretty good.
Even later mainly due to the awful Covid which has struck me down again .I had to call in some help from the late Woody Guthrie with this cover of the Doors Road house blues .(its not really Woody just a nice badge my wife bought me )

Just had a listen to Richard on you tube nice version of a Brucie classic just a little too loud on the guitar in places but still a good cover .Well done .
A sad song Jim well written as usual
Sounds good Jan your voice is so clear
Time to nail a song depends on a few things Jim , Do all the band members know the song ,or is it new and original . . The Current set with this band has taken twelve months to get the set to the level we are at . We have been playing together in various forms for about two years . However with my old band it was possible to be asked for a song in the morning and we could rehearse and play a reasonable version that evening . But we had been together for 10 yrs .
I remember doing a gig some years ago at a small club in London ,which was supposed to be me and an acoustic guitar ,when I arrived I found a bunch of my mates had turned up to back me and we had an hour to choose a dozen songs before we were due on The guys were fantastic and we nailed every song straight off and it was great except I forgot the starting line of David Crosbys Cowboy movie song , I was 15 yrs younger though LOL .
Re confidence to perform Jim you write great songs and should go out and play them ,But choose a venue which respects its players and listens to the content of the songs .
We are lucky over here in the UK as the folk clubs make sure the audience is quiet during performances as do some of the better open mics ,Give it a go you have a great and unusual voice which I'm sure people will listen to and enjoy .
Hi Jim thanks for the honest feed back we appreciate constructive comments it helps us to improve .We currently have about 15 songs in the set and are working on another 9 classics.Watch this space .
Yeah its a classic 5 piece
This is a link to the face book page we are setting up drop us a message and have a look .

Hi Guys
would you please give us some feed back on these three tracks from our band

Deka vimata stin ammo would be a literal translation
Check this video of my friend Ellen Skourti who often used to play with us in Crete.I think Ellen would be a great artist for a Greek Eurovision entry . Please listen and share the vid it would really help.

Great song Jim I'll try and give it go this week .
Whiskey in the jar on a Banjitar . Clean family version . If you want the smutty version come to one of my live shows after 9pm LOL

No one has suggested whiskey in the jar yet .If I have a few mins spare I'll give it a go on the Banjitar
I taking it round to my friend Mike Harding on Saturday to see what he thinks ,Those who folllow the UK folk scene will know Mike he enjoyed a lot of commercial success in the Uk and is a fantastic banjo player and all round multi instrumentalist ,Heres a link to one of his shows check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QazSl2-hLuM warning though some of the material is a bit risque.
I've since replaced the low E with a regular D string and tuned it up to E gives a better banjo sound .
I just use a Roland street cube in the house or if I'm doing a small venue , It has mic .guitar and aux inputs , models several amps has an acoustic simulator as well for use with electric guitar and a variety of effects very good sound and not stupidly priced . It can also be used on battery or mains . Most street musicians use them over here .

I'll do a vid shortly probably an old Lonnie Donegan song
Just picked up a second hand Banjitar the other day one or two minor issues as it had been messed around by some one who had no idea how to set the thing up.The tail piece had been bent and fitted wrong also it had been fitted with heavy gauge acoustic guitar strings .All pretty easy fixes.I also fitted some acoustic damping foam inside the head to make it play at a sensible volume as it was very loud .It now sounds much better and plays well .I may put a thinner low E on to give a better banjo sound but for now I'm happy.
Struggling with my voice at the moment again and I've a couple of solo gigs coming up this month so I'm not singing with the band at the moment. Hopefully it will settle but since getting covid in March I've had a recurring problem but I'll send how I feel after this week ends session

Isn't that cool? You heard it totally differently. I hope a competent bluesman (or woman) (or someone who isn't sure one way or another) can take it on as a project and give us a third wholly different approach.
Graham.
I'm talking about Graham.
