Another version of the BB original fingerpickin' piece "Okie Stomp"... Our drummer, Rob, has helped turn this from just some riffs, into an actual song. It is still mostly improv, but the intro "clickety clack" stuff, the cymbal stabs on the third to last verse, and the "clickety clacks" on the outro verse give the tune a lot of structure.

Played fingerstyle on the Casino, through the Fender Tweed 4/10. Live at Los Ojos Bar and Grill.

Re: A Blindboy original...
Sounds like a real song to me now - i like its happy mood too - makes my toes tap and my lips break into a smile. That takes a lot of doing in January!
Good ensemble playing by everyone ... and I've just arrived at the PC fresh from listening to Rory Gallaghers wonderful last CD, Fresh Evidence, in the car so you've done well to still shine through with the Okie Stomp.

Thanks guys, appreciate the compliments.
This tune (it's not a real song, I wrote it) is fun to play and the audience seems to like it.

The only word that comes to mind when I listen to this is 'Hoppin'! There are a few more actually, but they're all synonyms for 'awesome.' Really cool tune BB, and the clickity-clack drums give it a great vibe!
