Thatnks, Tinker fir the link...

Over at Tweedsblues we've had discussions about the links betweern rap and blues... That's kinda what got me curious about dopin' a song that contained elements of both... So when my rapper son, Will-to-me, Ben-to-everyone-else-in-the-world, came to visit this summer I was determined to see if we could pull it off and mix the two into a single song....

And it worked and folks in downtown Luray, who still ain't used to my foot-stomp hill country Mississippi blues got a lot to think about... But Will did a fine job and had has hands paintin' piccures and all I was tryin' to do was just hold a beat without really playin' nuthin' on the steel bodied resonator and the boy just went into it and then when he was done I used a little trickery to get it back into something 12 bar...

I think just havin' him do kinda a an impromptu improvisonal rap last nmight here in the Catbox was real cool of him since, hey, he is a youngin' and he thinks that we're all old, gray and drivin' Oldmosbiles...

Well, two outta three ain't half bad...
