Re: Warm up song
Muddy Waters's "I Can't Be Satisfied" or "Alabama Jubilee." I've just played them a lot and they come fairly easily, though I can always use the practice. They loosen up my fingers without too much effort.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
