I did Trouble cut this morning on my Morning Breeze and blues which is 80 % electric blues. I agree that the title cut would be great for the Bike Nite set I plan on doing that and one more cut on tues show, John just sent me the rest of the CD so I will pick from one of those. This is a great site, the people and wealth of information here, I am fairly new myself... but feel like home already.
Thanx for adding me

Hi there Mike;
Welcome to LBW, like your playing , love Mr. Dick
from J. Giels ( we were on the same label as the early J. Giels Band ) so I
was lucky enough to score some free vinyl .
Check out our frontman Eddie Martin playing his trademark
simultaneous harp and guitar phrasing on my posted videos , entertaining.
