And there was a kind of manufactured vibe to the place, as a friend of mine once theorized over a round of tall and frosty ones: "Its like some guy woke up one day and said, Yeah, I know, Ill start a club! In Manhattan! Thats it! And well have, you know, those neon Bud signs in the window! Yeah! And a brick wall behind the bar! And, live bands, that play – whats that funky music they always have bands playing in the movies? Blues! Thats it! Well get some of those funky blues bands to come play!"

I found myself standing one night behind a particularly inebriated dude who kept bellowing for the band to play "Stormy Monday," then turning to his girlfriend to grandly explain, "Its an Allman Brothers song." Which would have been ok, because the Allmans did do a pretty damn definitive version of the song on the pretty damn definitive At Fillmore East. Would have been ok, except that *on* the Fillmore East record Duane Allman *introduces* the song by saying "Actually, its an old T-Bone Walker song." So – I mean, come on.

    You said your name is "David Hamburger"… (not a common name) However, I went to high school with a guy of the same name. Cornwall Central High School, NY grad. 1987. Are you the same guy?

    Great lesson man! BUT, how come when you show how the Allman Brothers do it at the end, you don’t do it in G like you said they do it? It all seems the same.
