    Well, here's the Blind Blake classic Police Dog Blues reworked in a more bluegrass style. It's played on a Simon & Patrick guitar, a Kentucky mandolin, and me on vocal. I've got a bunch of bluegrass shows coming up this summer at a local market night and this'll be one of 'em we'll play.

    When I saw the shoes at 2:00 I wondered if there's money in them
    There's another deja-vu in my head: have you considered doing "Going up the Country" by Canned Heat? I bet it would be a stronger version than their original.

    Another great blues performance, Michael! You get such a great, old-timey sound and the breaks are always really well done.

    Michael,

    Just great! Tonight I made two recordings, one for Angeline and the Police Dog Blues. Didn't realize the SAW had a Police Dog thread. So, I offer the following:



    Hope you all enjoy my amateur video!

    fatt-dad, that's a really great version of this old Blind Blake tune. Your vocals are just super and the tone from that guitar is terrific too! Well done!

    This is another version of the Police Dog Blues which I recorded around 2007. I play guitar and sing and my good friend in on bass. This is how it sounded one evening in my living room when I set up the recorder. Hope you get a kick out of it!

    Michael, the duet is great! Heck of a bass player! You certainly know the complicated notes to the song on your guitar too! I'll get there. . . For me it's just fun to sing! I do run it a bit slow though. Thanks for the kind words. And, yes I love my guitar! Father in law (rip) gave it to me over 25 years ago.
