[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis Blues on Youtube.com
Thanks for checking out my music. They have posted two other videos from my site. Search under Curtis Blues and they all come up. It is kinda freaky that videos I put on my site can be taken and posted everywhere. It works out nicely for these ones but it definitely gives me pause about putting up the ones with me dancing around the room with my Inflate-a-date! Cool to hear about your blues bands. I'm more Delta than Chicago but I love it all. I prefer acoustic harp, played away from the mike instead of cupping a green bullet and getting that Chicago distortion sound. Here in D.C. we have a lot of Chicago style bands but very few acoustic players. Is there a good acoustic scene in Seattle? --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bhairitu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: curtisdeltablues wrote: Someone just posted my first video on Youtube from a TV show appearance.

The song is from Big Joe Williams who used to liven up his performances by shooting a pistol in the air if the crowd got too rowdy.

He used to add 3 strings to his guitar by drilling holes in the headstock which doubled certain strings for busking volume.

I think you would have enjoyed sitting in with some of the blues bands I played with in Seattle and we certainly would have enjoyed having you sit in.

I don't know what the current scene is like in Seattle, I lived there 16 years ago and was playing in a blues band then (as well as other groups). The guy whose band I played in has been gigging around there a lot now days. He's also a former TM'er and checks in on this list from time to time. I once played a gig with Lightin' Hopkins which was interesting. :) --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bhairitu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: curtisdeltablues wrote: Someone just posted my first video on Youtube from a TV show appearance.

I once played a gig with Lightin' Hopkins which was interesting. :) That is the coolest thing I've heard this week! What a character that guy was. I play his version of Baby Please Don't Go. His little trick of adding an upstroke beat to his shuffle defines the Texas sound doesn't it. Any details about him are welcome. You gigged with a legend! --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bhairitu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: curtisdeltablues wrote: Thanks for checking out my music. They have posted two other videos from my site.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curtis Blues on Youtube.com
Thanks man. I appreciate your checking it out. I never perform with drummers but love to jam with them. A real drummer can lay down much more complex rhythms than I can with my bass and hi-hat. It challenges me, changes the music and teaches me a lot. I get a lot more out of that kind of creative jam then I do from playing with another guitarist. Other guitarists tend to fill in the silences that this style requires to preserve the feel. I have also had some great jams with people playing dumbek or djimbe hand drums. I have always had a strong affinity with percussion and rhythm. If you don't get that right people don't move their hips which is my whole purpose of my life, getting those hips moving! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, hugheshugo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: Sorry, thanks for catching that.
