A Little 3 String Trance Boogie

Sunday, 22. March 2009, 23:14:52

I was watching the BBC the other night. First they showed a documentary about Seasick Steve. Unfortunately I missed the start.

But I did catch all of him performing at the Reading Festival.

The highlight being when he closed out the set with Dog House Boogie.

Hi hungry, Leazz. He is something alright.

Ok, it's not to everyone's taste. Music, it seems, can be very subjective. Some people like Ronan Keating

eek. Not Ronan...quick...better start running...

Saw him for the first time on Jools Holland last year and he was just stunning,there was also a documentary on BBC 4 about him and the guy really is a star,bet he would have got nowhere on X factor

...bet he would have got nowhere on X factor

I would consider that a major plus.

He's brilliant, bringing blues back while appealing to my generation (16-25) making him a genius.

Great perfomance at Reading, met him afterwards and got a picture with him!!

Half as many srings = twice as much talent?

reminds me The Presidents of the United States of America

Ballew and Dederer/McKeag play a basitar and guitbass, which are regular, six-string guitars with special modifications: Ballew's instrument has two bass strings (with which he plays bass parts), and Dederer/McKeag's instrument has three guitar strings (used to play guitar parts).

Never occurred to me that the Trance Wonder might be that way on purpose.
