When I said I could play blues and soul covers at Lancaster Music Festival I didn't expect to be playing in a shoe shop . So I did a full set of shoe related songs
This is Shoeshine Boy originally by the Humblebums .
Thanks Banks Lyons and LMF I had a brilliant time.

Stormy Monday ,And a little story to go with it . Back in Crete about 15 yrs ago we did a roof top party in a village and I for my sins was the headline act , unfortunately for me I had to follow a local teen age band who were absolutely amazing . I turned to my then co guitarist Brian and said how do we follow that . Thankfully we were both on good form and did a good set of blues classics which the audience loved , The set included Stormy monday I think I may have a short clip of it some where which I will post if I can find it . The beauty of Cretan audiences is they respect you as a musician and it doesn't matter if you are 16 or 60 .

Jim I always like the way you try and fit all the words of the challenge into a song .I'd like to hear it sung though ,Not being a great Buddy Holly fan I haven't found the rhythm or the tempo for this one yet that suits my voice or style , but I'll give it another try and get into the groove shortly

I was lucky enough to be invited to play at the Bolton Socialist Club recently ,by no means the biggest gig I've ever done as I've played many massive festivals in the past .But this was one of the best audiences ever .Every body listened ,and joined in with the silly stuff. One of the best gigs ever. What about you guys ?
