        A song that reminds us of our blues pilgrimage to the Delta. Best regards to Don Deering if he happens to be reading this.

        “Crossroads”—easy to play— or so I thought, but I still had a hard time to play the riff with the right groove. But whatever—here’s my take on it—“Crossroads”—Clapton Style.

        Feelings? Despair, because there was no devil waiting for me at the crossroads to teach me the blues.

        Thank you for watching

          I loved it Werner!

            You are cuttin’ a nice groove there Werner. I love your side piece there. He/she seems undaunted by the rowdy energy you are creating. I like where you take this. Always a pleasure!

              A rocking high energy lead. You covered the call and response well. Nice work!

                Nice take on this one, Werner. You can play the crossroad blues. You’ve been to Clarksdale Mississippi. The birthplace of the blues. I’m glad the devil left you alone. 😀
