Blues Bands - Working Set Lists ?

[LowDown Hal]

So that everyone knows I did do a search

It uncovered some great discussions regarding set lists. I'm sure there are even more....
Great cover songs in blues, classic, and southern rock?
Greatest setlist to fill the dance floor with naughty sexytime?
Fool Proof Cover Band Dance Songs
Cover bands: post your set list

I have a potential project in the works with some guys so what I'm asking for are actual set lists from working blues bands.

THANKS

Of all the classic blues phraseology, I always get the biggest kick out of "Black Cat Bone" as in "my baby's got a black cat bone".

Clearest definition I've derived: "a woman who thinks every thing you do is wrong..."

Any other definitions to it?

<perhaps should post to off topic>

[Kenny Allyn]

Well since we are known as Blackkat Bone I know a little about the name ... but the Wikipedia has a pretty good definition.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_Bone

... Been using that name for a long time.

Anyone else have a set list to help a brother out........
Just trying to really get a handle on what is working in the bars. The guys I'm jamming with are really old school. While that's fun I'm not sure many girls are gonna' dance to Jimmy Reed :-)
