Acoustic Blues (EP 367 & EP 049) Live at The Lion’s Club Farmer’s Market

[John H]

I’ve made the big time….😎🎸

Nice playing John, the second part with the upbeat bass line, strumming and lead was cool. Your guitar has a sweet sound to it, I’m guessing Mahogany. I’ve got a little one I’ll introduce at some point. It’s unusual, it’s got a rubber bridge and the only way to really get a good sound is with some amplification and effects, very different sounding. It’s small also. Enjoyed your playing.

[JoLa]

Love your playing there, John!!

Forget grocery shopping, I’d be sitting next to you and enjoying the music 😎🎸

Kudos John. Sounded fantastic. It’s all where we want to be and you’re out there doing it. And you’re really tearing it up there towards the end? Wow! If I was there I’d be staying for the duration. All the best! 😎🎸😎

Nice John! Wish I could come listen in person!

Nice playing John. Summertime jam at the FM. Yup you have made the big time. The Lion’s club just had their annual fish fry at the Seal Beach pier here in So Cal and there is always good live music and cold beer!

Nice John 😄.

It is always good to have live music outdoors in summer. Here in Vancouver, we have lots of outdoor markets with this going on.

One piece of curiosity. Did you just show up and play or did you need to audition for the organizers first ? Over here, I am pretty sure there would need to be some kind of approval process.

That said. Very enjoyable John. I guess, I could do the same with my classical but it would need to be amplified with a mic 🎤.

I typically Busk-show up on street corners, outside pubs, or anyplace where there is a gathering (outdoor coffee shops). I set up with a tip jar and take my chances. One day I was out in front of a coffee shop and a gentleman asked me if I would like to play his farmer’s market. That’s all. I think you should do the same. Somebody will hire you for something.

I saw you busking before and you still at it.
Very nice performance. I couldn’t do that.
Your Martin sounds great, which model is it? Looks like the one DaveK has.
I am going to a music store tomorrow checking them out since you didn’t send me one for my birthday lol.
Great stuff bro, loved the SRV one.

A very nice jamming and busking over there in the outdoors! Your guitar and the amplification sound great: If I had been there I had enjoyed to listen to your whole performance! Here in Italy usually it’s not possibile to play with an amplification without a permission, unfortunately (and in some historical places, even unplugged, without a permission).

Good on you stepping out and playing, John. Your guitar sounds great out in the open spaces of the farmers market. Country blues and rock, you can play ‘em all.

Sweet, John. Great energy, vibe, tone and technique. Where in PA are you? I’m from Harrisburg.
