        So this is 4 days of practice and also the general repetition before I make a performance video of this song. If I grind this for a week or two the groove will get even better and the small quirks will disappear!

        So Billy get practicing and let’s make another JB Blues Band cover in a week or two! 👍🏻

        Hope you enjoy!

          Don’t know the song Johan and don’t think I have it on CD either, I’ll track it down online though. If anyone else wants to do vocals then I don’t mind sitting out to make way.

                The 1956 studio recording (third one down) has lyrics and a better sound but I had to share these other two instrumental versions for their heart (also around 1956).

                https://youtu.be/Fm1qtX7Mz5w

                https://youtu.be/Z4Jme9MSXIg

                There were a few other songs filmed at the time the first “Hey Hey” above was filmed. “When Did You Leave Heaven” goes straight to my heart.

                Thanks to both of you! Billy, your bravery posting your voice is really commendable and bearing fruit. After the fact, maybe it doesn’t seem like it took much courage because the result and the reaction were both so good, but being aware of the feelings you expressed, your doubts about your voice, it took some guts. Bravo!

                  Thank you very much Don, I am just surprised that my vocals got such a good reception on forum, I enjoyed singing and recording the vocals to Johan’s fantastic guitar playing, I am sure you will all agree it was difficult not to sing along to Johan’s playing, Something I bet we all did.
                  I will give “Hey hey” my best shot and hopefully I wont spoil Johan’s playing…

                    I’ll have to agree with you Don, there is a difference between Clapton and Big Bill’s versions. Mr. Broonzy really got my feet stomping.

                        Had some spare time tonight so recorded vocals for this, WAV file is in my dropbox. I have messaged you a link to download the file.

                              Johan, your acoustic-Clapton-performances are amazingly good! I’ll take my hat off again for this one!
