    Actually, just read it WAS an old blues song originally! So that told me!

    Nice set list....some of the tunes I'm not familiar with. lol Hey, do you play slide on any of the tunes? Shake Your Moneymaker is a rollickin' good tune for overdriven slide.

    Nah, I don't play slide. I suck.

    We are doing 2 instrumentals too.

    One them is this one http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/1007859

    For the other instrumental, any ideas? Perhaps Hideaway? But it feels so "overdone"...

    Heard some great slide last night at the Bonnie Raitt concert. She also rocked vocally, and also guitarwise on "Love me Like a Man". She held down the song with just her on acoustic (great job!) and her bass player. I bet Myra will be great on that tune. (oh, and you too. )

    My favorite "blues" instrumental is "Riviera Paradise". You know that one?
