Thread Name: Common Blues
Subject: RE: Common Blues
Charley Patton's version of "Spoonful" is certainly a good one - a good example of letting the slide guitar "talk". I also had, in a previous life (i.e. as a teenager) Cream's version. I've always wondered if the '20's expression "spooning" had any connection with the blues "spoonful" theme. Any ideas?
