Good evening and welcome.
[G] I hope you're gonna enjoy what we're gonna try and play here.
This evening it's just acoustic material which is nice for a change for me because normally like
it's three quarters of electric music on the show.
_ Anyway we're gonna have a mixture of a lot
of some traditional blues and some stuff I've written myself recently.
_ This uh that one was
by Blind Boy Fuller, one of the great blind street singers in the 30s.
He wrote a song called
Pistol Slapper Blues.
This next one is about alcohol _ and it's called Too Much Alcohol.
