    crazy cat peaking through a lace bandana like one eyed Cheshire like a diamond eyed jack, a leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle to another double waterfall ooooover my back.
    Love this song.,
    On my 2nd day learning this I now know that I must be lit to get on this dudes level.

    Bravo Zulu to Davvy, fine lesson, very inspirational.
    I have two areas of thought seeking comment:
    First, I believe (electric) Hot Tuna would’ve evolved into a D&C type band given HT’s talented lineup.
    Second, I believe D&C should add a few covers of, ready for it?, Michael Jackson. Yep, sex & politics aside, JM would rip on Beat It, the piano soloing opportunity for Jeff abound. The bass line on Beat It would make Oteil smile.
    Comments please
    Stay well good luck
    Thanks

    • @herbythechef7624

    I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to watch this show and walk away feeling sad, upset, or otherwise distraught in any way- I mean it would be very difficult to watch this fellow and be pissed off, you know? Let’s put it this way; if you watch this video and find yourself full of rage, or even grumpy, then chances are that you should give some serious thought to engaging in some kind of therapy with a licensed professional....just sayin.’
