Very nice blues improv! If I could choose an instrument to be really good at - guitar would be it -followed very closely by piano! Victory Demange is who I’d like to play like. The comfort and ease is amazing. I remember struggling to play it on guitar. The problem was - like everything else- a right handed guitar had been given to me so I was learning as a lefty like most things. Baseball, tennis, ping pong so many things. We’re geared toward right hands.

I guess I can blame a lot of things on being a lefty but - I just stopped when our teacher moved and I just piddled around and did not practice enough.. VICTOR Makes me wish I had kept going!

Just wow.

For a treat, listen again, this time with the words to Amazing Grace in mind. (The Blind Boys of Alabama have a version).

Paused my CD to listen to Victor Demange. Cued CD back up and it was Frijid Pink’s version of House if the Rising Sun. It is on my Hard to Find 45’s CD.

Strange things happen.

I love that song. This is a great rendition of it. I also love Tracy Chapman's version.
