Good to see your still knockin em out. This is the second song I've learned because you did it first. Baker Steet and Black Velvet are two songs I liked but never thought to tackle until you did them. Thanks for your vision of what can be done with some pop tunes.

Love you dissertation on Blues Styles. Great info. Many people don't realize how the Blues morphed into so many variations. And I agree with Donny, The Blues is about feel and transmitting that to the audience. Ray Charles could sing the label on a Campbells soup can and make it bluesy.
BTW and maybe off topic but I think thats why the electric guitar is so prevelent in Blues. It can express emotion so well.
