RJs original was recorded in San Antonio Texas back in 1936. I lived in San Antonio for 3 years while stationed at Kelly AFB while serving in the USAF. A strange coincidence that at this time I first listened to RJs recordings.

  6. You’ve really captured the feel. I’m a guitarist. Love that cigar box! 

  7. Thank you for your kind words. I am tuned Open G (Dgbd) Capo at the 3rd fret. My arrangements are not note for note covers, but my ideas discovered by applying my understanding of music theory and exploring the fingerboard after listening to the original versions. I think I enjoy the search just as much as the final discovery. Enjoy.

  8. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Fortunately, I am only a street musician and if you have the opportunity to catch my act, it only cost some spare change thrown into my cup. If you are enjoying my Youtube page, please consider purchasing my Good & Evil CD or one of my instructional video CDs if you would like to learn this style. They make a great gift too. I certainly appreciate your interest and support. Thank you. Enjoy.

  12. Thank you for your comment. I rescued Onyx from a local shelter when he was a one year old. He is about 5 now. I found him on the pet finder web site. He is extremely aware and interactive. Whenever I set up the camera, he always seems to be front and center. I call him my little brother from another Mother. LOL Enjoy.
