Subject: RE: Blind Lemon questions
Hi Sorcha!

Actually, I'm impressed with the quality of these responses. Didn't know how many hits I'd get on a question like that. Untangling the mazes of Lemon's phrasing is no walk in the park, to say the least. Thanks Rick, for that tip. I'll look for this guy's recordings. I know Lemon plays some minimal notes in there to bridge the gap between the 6 and 1, but his vocal signal is so strong, it's damn near impossible to hear what's going on underneath. Wonder if Alvin Youngblood Hart knows? Thanks for the website Rolfboy. I also had fun with Lemon's boogie-woogie style intro, complete with octave bass runs in A position. Forget the name of the song but it's a killer!
