And you where able to keep a steady beat. I don't really remember the Cream version, but as I recall, you sound a bit looser, a bit jazzier. The singers nasal sound is very similar to Clapton ;-) Never the less. This and Cream is or R&B, rhythm and blues. Clapton has rerecorded the song, acoustic, him and Peter Green. That's much closer to the original Johnson recording (I've got that on CD). Less bells and whistles, and a lot harder to play. I've also found a version by Tom Waits, very different, but pretty hefty too. I'm also trying to download the Cream version. So far, in vain :-( Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C. Clarke, or some other clever guy) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jens Bladt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 14. mai 2006 10:26 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: GESO: Blues > > That's true, Butch. > In the late sixties the guitar palyer in "my" band visited London.
