Here's something a little different.
My friend Danny G just sent me this link.
It's me playing and singing (kinda) House of the Rising Sun being backed by AJ WIndmeyer on chord harmonica. I'm kinda embarrassed to say I barely remember doing this. There were not many blues guys at this free event, but it's a great experience and fun time. I liked looking at this and realized, I was really relaxed and not even working when I did this. There's a few flubs, but I say it's a fair example of how I play.

Danny G holds his party the first weekend AFTER the 4th of July

Very nice Jim. Also a pretty good lesson there on how to keep cool and carry on when things go slightly awry.

nteresting number this one. My band 'The Moonshine Run' play this with me on harp, and they were surprised when I pointed out the 30 bar solo which I was unable to finish because of them shortening it to 24 bars.
When they took a listen to The Animals version, they realised what they had been doing for years.
Anyway, it's me who has had to adapt to their way.

@ leatherlips
ya got me confused.
I just counted it in my head, and I get 16 bars, not 24 or 30. What I hear in my posted recording is what I call 16. Maybe I need to go listen to The Animals so I will know what you're talking about.

Yeah Jim. I'm counting the lead in by the keyboards as well, which is 6 bars.

I just listened and I'm AMAZED.
In my "cock sure" ways of 40 years of playing I would have declared everyone knows it's a 16 bar progression. That's how we play it at all the local jams, but I just counted it (more than once) and I'm getting 22, not 24, not 30, but 22.
I am fascinated by this. I gotta go listen again and study this more.
6 bars added to 16 is 22 bars.
I fell sooooooo stupid yet sooooo amazed.
