  I had a visit from my old musician friend Achim. You’ve got to seize opportunities when they come, so we recorded this session together, with intentional pauses. No backing track, nothing at all—just the guitars.

  Wow, that sounds like you’re still in the Delta. It’s astonishing what can be done with just two guitars. Great submission Werner and Achim, your timing produced the space required by the challenge.

  You guys sounded great together. Love the communication. The sort of “loose” ending was my favourite part.
  Your latest art collection is my favourite of your ever changing displays.

  Very nice Werner. How lucky are you Achim happened to stop be to help!

  Always fun to jam with an old friend. That’s some authentic slow blues like you probably heard in Clarksdale Mississippi. Well played, Werner and Achim.

  What a cool blues duo session, Achim and Werner! I think you guys nailed the corner blues club vibe with this stripped down chill blues on just two guitars, a flawless performance! Always fun to see your Lab waiting for the treats after the show, and your Camera Woman did an awesome job filming with closeups and all 😊👍

  It’s great to see Achim again. It brings back memories. Best regards to him.
  It’s great to hear and see you two Blues Brothers playing together.
  Laid-back afternoon blues—just what my ears need on a Saturday afternoon. Great collab!
  Grüsse nach Bielefeld und ich freu mich schon auf unseren Jam!
  
  Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
  The next Meetup will take place in October
  
  There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum a few weeks before.
  
  I look forward to meet you.
