I posted this earlier as a BIAB track that I sang over and Danny Campo (thanks Danny!) challenged me to come up with a slowed down dirty Delta guitar version. So I came up with this arrangement on my 1978 Guild F-50. The riffs are more based on the playing of Scrapper Blackwell of Indianapolis, IN , who was often teamed with Leroy Carr. Scrapper's "Kokomo Blues" was a precursor to Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago". I had a good time doing this one and it came together pretty quickly. Took some liberties so let me know what you think.

Check out the acoustic sustain on that A string at the end. The F-50 is a beast. Also I put a photographic dedication to Tiger Woods on my song page as I thought some of the lyrics were apropos.

Pete,

We all use the wonderful PG products, but it's nice to hear something without the computer backup.

There's nothing like "real" music!
