Re: Can we get some Blues up in here?

One of my favorite tunes They're Red Hot from Robert Johnson. Lots of people have heard Clapton cover it on "Me and Mr Johnson". Not so many know the peppers did an idiosyncratic cover of their own on Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Been a blues and jazz fan since my teen years.

Re: Can we get some Blues up in here?

Willie Dixon is probably my all time favorite.

Willie Dixon, "Spoonful"

But if you like your blues hot and electric, it's hard to beat that whitest of white men, Johnny Winter.

You got that right brother!!
I saw him in 1974 at the felt forum in Madison square garden and he was awesome. Still alive and Well!!!!

Now that is cool. Did you get to meet him? Any other cool shows you saw there?

Now that I think about it didn't you work security for Ted Nugent a little while back, too? Maybe it was for some kind of press conference he was doing, can't remember.

Re: Can we get some Blues up in here?

Speaking of Ted Nugent, here's a little "Baby Please Don't Go". Been trying to learn to play this on my acustic guitar...not going too well just yet!
