Subject: RE: BS: Tips for playing at farmers markets etc?
If yer gonna have amphilication then the repetition might get to some of the vendors but if not, then most of 'um won't pay you any mind so don't worry about it since the other folks will come and go... I've played in stores and that's purdy much the same...

BTW, I listened to yer 14 bar "Death Letter Blues" since I do it and it sounds purdy good. I don't mind the extra measures between yer verses. I play with an old black bluesguy, N.J. Warren, at the Archie Edwards Barber Shop who don't have no use fir 12 bar so ya' really gotta pay attention to know where the chord changes are gonna occur but it always sounds real good. He plays a lot of 6/4/4 and sometimes 8/4/4 dependin' on how much he's had to drink....

Have a ball. Wear a hat unless yer gonna be in the shade. Take water, ect...
