@ arth1: Sorry if my little faux pas upset you so much that it prompted you to correct my horrendous errors.You see at 5:10 in the morning after waking up in severe pain that I have had to endure since I had to have a spinal fusion in 1994 due to an accident,plus not being able to breathe due to a particularly nasty upper respiratory infection,I'm not at my most alert and as the Police song says "Sometimes eloquence escapes me."I got on the computer to try and take my mind off the pain while waiting for the pain meds and sinus meds to kick in.So the next time you get your skivvies in a knot because some inarticulate cretin has the monumental gall to make grammatical errors etc. that make it difficult for you to comprehend the gist of their posts,pause and think that just maybe they aren't completely with it because they have something bothering them that makes grammatical errors etc. in their writing the least of their worries.

When Jimi played "The Killing Floor" as his opening number for his "first" US coming out at the Monterey Pop Festival,the audience must have sensed by his incendiary version of that great old song,that they were about to witness history being made because just in his cover of that song he demonstrated a fretboard prowess that had never been seen or heard before.I still get goosebumps the size of grapes every time I listen to the Monterey performance.

The Killing Floor has always been one of my favourite Howlin' Wolf songs but when Jimi did that cover it just tore me up.When my hands were in good shape I used to do a cover of Jimi's cover because when he put his own spin on the song he just made it so funky that it's just a great song to jam to and really gives the fingers a great workout.

My apologies if it came across as having my "skivvies in a knot", or being "upset .. so much".
That was not my intention. I thought that preceding it with "Pet peeve - skip if you don't like grammar lectures" would make it clear it was just a pet peeve, and that I didn't expect anyone not interested in a grammar lecture to read it. I also erroneously thought that putting "/grammarnazi" under it would convey levity. I see that I failed, and that is only my fault.
No soup for me!

For what it's worth, I have a fused spine myself. Yes, really. It makes me appreciate small things. Like TC stomp boxes that I don't have to bend down to adjust, but can beam settings to holding my phone in front of the pickup. Like amps that have the power button on the top, not the back. Like not being impressed by Jimi Hendrix, so having no inclination to play with the guitar behind my back or with my teeth. Small things :D

A lot of the rolling bass that you talk about SBLS is Chicago great Willie Dixon who is responsible for some of the greatest blues songs off all time such as Hootchie Cootchie Man,Red Rooster and other timeless greats.

I once had the honor of meeting him during his break period when he played here just a couple of years before he died.He was a huge man-like a mountain with legs-but he was very soft spoken.I asked him what he thought of Jimi's cover of Hootchie Cootchie Man and he said that he liked it.I also asked him if he ever met Jimi and he said"Yeah,he was a strange cat...but he was cool."

Willie's thumping bass lines were a indispensable component of the Chicago blues sound and like Pinetop Perkins was sought for piano work,Willie was sought out to play bass on countless Chess recordings as well as other Chicago blues recordings. His inimitatable bass runs provided the bottom for Chicago blues.



+1. Willie Dixon was the man. One of the bass greats. I never tire of listening to him. There's a live video on Youtube of Wolf doing Smokestack Lightnin' with Willie on bass. I spend the entire time watching him thump away. Which is saying something because Wolf definitely commanded attention from an audience.

Other than DJango Reinhardt, can't think of another guitarist whose playing style, adapted to overcome a severe disability. rises to the level of 'OMG :!: :shock: " He was a multi-talented artist who left this world too soon, and NOT due to his own vices.
