Thanks

Thanks Phil.

When we made this video we were pretty new to all of this collaboration stuff. This was only our second video after making "Got My Mojo Working." He actually hadn't been playing very long at the time. Maybe a year? I thought he was pretty good considering. At times I did think he stepped on the vocals a bit and in practice versions I told him; but it was a learning process. These days I think he's a smokin' player. He's been playing only about three years or so at this point. That isn't very long. We've been working on a "Clapton - ish " version of "crossroads" with harp instead of guitar but as I stated we have had equipment breakdowns so who knows. He was having trouble getting the harmonica parts to sound right also.

I met him on a harmonica forum...that's his thing. If you listen to "Mojo Working" you can hear him try to slip in some backing vocals and it just doesn't work...lol. But even though I played harmonica for a good while (guitar too) I would always sing along since I have been singing since childhood. I enjoyed it more and people, whenever I wanted to show off my skills at playing an instrument would never comment on the instrument. Only my singing. So I stopped harmonica and guitar and focused on singing. I visited that Harmonica forum for a visit after some vocal lessons about six months later and posted a cover with me singing. He liked it and asked if I would do a song with him. We did "Got my Mojo Working" and the rest is history. But basically we started with old school blues harmonica songs. I guess I was more a backup for the harp. Even now, we pick songs that are harp heavy rather than being about the vocals.

Thanks for the listen,,,much appreciated
