An original from Becca and Blindboy

Post by Blindboy »

Becca and I haven't played together in several months, but she came down and sat in with us last Monday. We did a duet set, and this is from that. This is one of ours... I made up the chord progression and the feel, she wrote lyrics and made it into a song. I really enjoy playing this one.

OK - you're messing with me now - aren't cha'. :wink: :tease:

First we get some slide playing from you and the TRBB - sounds great! Sounds like Los Ojos. Sound like what I've come to expect.

Then immediately you send us a piece with Blues/Jazz/Singer-Songwriter/Chanteuse/Cocktail - with just a hint of Gypsy Jazz. :think: :clap: :pray:

It was fabulous! But where did that come from? I loved it but my mind is being stretched to encompass a new definition of Blind Boy. :thumbsup: :banana: :thumbsup:

What's next? How about some Klezmer? :away:

I think you've found the sweet spot for you and Becca. :oldie:

Oh - I love this sort of stuff. Especially when sung by an angel and with guitar played with such a sure touch and style. :clap:

I'm not surprised at the quality of Blindboy in another style - he who showed me what could be done with a BossaNova what seems like a lonnnnnnng time ago. :big_smile:

Beautiful. :pray:

Thanks Fellers, glad you liked it. :big_smile:
Becca was bitterly disappointed with her performance that night... She will probably be furious with me for posting this. :whistle:
@VB... That bossa thing was fun, wasn't it?
@MojoJim... Actually it is two jazz cliches jammed together... a II-V-I progression and a circle of fifths (kind of...) I made it up a few years ago as a jam piece and Becca liked it enough to write lyrics for it and make it an actual song.
And, yes, I like klezmer... I just can't play it. :thumbsup:

I was right... she was mad at me. :motz:

Thanks, y'all.
She holds herself to a very high standard. Fortunately she doesn't hold me to that same high standard.
She'll be all right. We are going to practice a bit and open the TWBB show on the fourth of July at the bar. :big_smile:

She meets and exceeds those standards, as far as I'm concerned. Nice to know that you two will be opening for the 4th.

:thumbsup: Great tune, BB. Tell Becka not to be so hard on herself, she is great. I wish we could all be there on the 4th, I bet that is going to be a blast (pun intended). Be sure to have someone record a bit of video, we would all like seeing and hearing you guys.
