Blues Bass Club

What with this all being about a portrait sitting that I may present my best side for new blues gigs ...

The sitting has been moved up a day. The photographer informs me part of his studio includes a large window for natural light. That's good by my book as it rains, and diffused light is soft light. Made a decision on what to wear. Let's see what develops.

Fine link!

Pretty decent list of "must know" songs. Happily, the last time someone I didn't know called Crosscut Saw, I knew the song. Know a lot of those songs. What I will say is I don't care for unrehearsed performances.
My guitar player and I used to jam a lot with regulars around LA. Always unrehearsed. One guy always new the songs. I just watched his fret hand if I was unfamiliar with the song.

Best night was when we played Allman Bros. Elizabeth Reed. Two guitars was awesome.:bassist:
 
Hooray!....:D

Too much fun to play blues.

Of the "standards" I find the surest recipe for a potential train wreck with strangers is Stormy Monday."

No shortage of numbers with "tricks". From the five for Messing With the Kid. The biggest challenge for me is hearing the key called :sour:
