Well done! Do like to see music entries go through

Yay!

I realise now that I had promised to do an extra bit on the alternative last line. I suppose I'll have to put it through later as an update, as I'm busy for the next few days and then I'm away on holidays.

Nice one Gnomon!

Woo hoo!

Wow, Gno! Pretty short PR. No wonder I'd missed this!

I do really like the subject and the approach. I'd have liked the opportunity to suggest some Albert Collins or Dave Bromberg. I've even found an album of 'The Simpsons Sing the Blues'.

More to the point, though, I feel that you should have progressed beyond the guitar. Mouth harp can only come between the versus (if the player is the singer), but is often and integral part of these songs. I've heard fantastic blues sung to nothing but a stompin' foot and a bit of harmonica.

I might also have suggested other possible subjects like:
My girlfriend, she left me; but then she came back.
Sayin', my girlfriend, she left me; but then she came back.
Nothin' left to do but drag myself down that old track.

Congrats on the Front Page!!!!!

Thanks, FT! It was in Peer Review for six weeks.

WHy not add all your suggestions as comments at the bottom of the entry?

You are most welcome!

The piece is so well tuned, I'm just happy to see it included. Perhaps someone else can take up the cause of the mouth harp in a separate piece (or, other alternate instrumentation).

Blues Harp seems to also fit very few keys, a popular one being Bb. But, there must be those who know ever so much more about the subject than I. (Except, of course, that I know what I like.)
