        This is a John Lee Hooker style backing track by Quist but I heard Slim Harpo so I went with it!

        Joe

        The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
        Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

          That was awesome Joe. Blowing the harmonica and that was a superb job singing my friend. Use of repeated phrases to great effect sounded perfect for this song.

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

              Love it Joe. This song is new to me and it’s a beauty. I’ll definitely have a closer look at this and maybe try and learn it too. Top vocals, harp and guitar playing. One of your best! 😎🎸😎
