    Thank you for your kind words. It is always especially nice to get feedback from a fellow musician. You are a very good player yourself! After watching your fine rendition of Come On in My Kitchen, I would encourage you to look into the use of two note doublestops (chord fragments) to strengthen those iconic RJ turnarounds. You should also consider exploring singing too. It will strengthen the melody line. Enjoy your practice.

    Thank you. Well, mine is a pre-tied clip-on type. LOL I found a youtube video on how to tie a real string tie, but I haven’t got around to buying a real one yet. These ties are still popular down South (western dancing), but you don’t see many of them here on the East coast. Enjoy.

    Thank you for your comment. Sepia tone makes for a good old fashion photo look too. I was quite surprised myself, that this arrangment worked out so well. Tuned in Spanish down to the key of E and playing the song in the key of B made it possible. Enjoy.

    Thank you for your comment. Kismet? I greatly appreciate musicians who dedicate themselves to note for note transcriptions. I enjoy seeing it and it helps me learn, but my interests are elsewhere. I enjoy listening to the original for inspiration. Once I get the lyrics and basic melody line in my head, the real fun begins. I enjoy the arranging part as much as performing the final production. Sitting for hours with tab, is not as enjoyable as searching the fingerboard. Enjoy.

    Thank you for your comment and encouragement. Roy Clark broke a string just before stepping out onto the Johnny Carson Tonight Show stage. He played and sang so well you would never notice. I thought my reaction was funny enough to share. Why I said bugger, I’ll never know. I appreciate your motivational thoughts. Enjoy.

    Thank you for your response. My approach is definitely a back to basics style. You don’t have to be a master French chef to BBQ a good tasting mess of ribs in your own barkyard or brew a good cup of Joe either. I feel I keep true to the spirit of this style while I’m presenting my renditions in a theatrical manner. Enjoy.

    strange i only played a cd of tommy’s this morning and you posted this, i like your arrangement of the song, instead of the note by note copycat approach.

    Keni Lee, that string busting happens to everyone at one time or another, but you just kept on playing. The mark of a professional and true lover of the blues.
    You’re the bomb! Keep the simple production values and you’ll make the mark.
    Keep on keeping on.

    Great great! i also love the way your video’s are. so simple, but you can feel the whole vibe so much better, even though its 2010.
    this just "takes me back" to a place i am to young for to have ever experienced.

    Thank you for your continued interest and encouragement. This song is a good example of a FUN song to play. The rhythm pattern is upbeat and bouncy. I feel ike I am playing tennis by myself, running from one side of the court to the other. LOL Alternating from slide to rhythm will keep you on your toes! Enjoy.
