Great music and beautiful scenery.
Damn, that was mighty fine music!!!
Jim, you blew my mind on this one! unbelievable!
Now that's what blues is all about, sit in a good day and jam……love to you guys all way from India
Just loved it! 🙂
Thank you guys
I also want such an amazing grandfather
Sorry Jim, apologies, blame red wine!! You are a wonderful guitarist, something I aspired to be but started too late in life to be anything other than a strummer!! Great location, is it abroad?
Hello Ken we met many years ago in the White Horse at Misson, 1993, you encouraged me to keep practicing the harp and I came to watch the band several times, started jamming in 1994 and have played all over the world with some great musicians, a harp player is much rarer and more valued than a guitarist!!. Started playing with The Old Buzzard Blues Band, my first ever proper position as a harp player and our first proper gig is next month in Berwick upon Tweed. "Feel So Good"
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I guess 3 people don't get that it's an older tune than the Allman Brothers version. I love your guy's version. it's a great old tune, and you guys brought back that old time sound. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the share. Peace…
Simply amazing. Best regards, live goddamn long!
Great skills gents!
Excellent! The blues will never die, thanks to keepers of the flame like you. Carry on, blues cats
