I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of "go cat go" jump blues in general. But this cooks! They're nailing it.

and really simple, clear hand and body signals from Adam to take it back to the head, one more time around, finish coming up and a stop time break.

I was there!
I think it was the 2nd time i had seen Dennis and the first time I had even heard of Adam.
Both were teachers at the Gindick Jam Camp.
Dennis was an exceptional teacher.
I didnt have any seminar with Adam.

Aha! I remember that well. In January 2007, when I first visited YouTube, I used the search engine to see if perhaps somebody, at some point, had posted any footage of me performing--most likely with Satan and Adam. This was the one and only clip. It was at the first Gindick camp I taught at, in St. Louis in, I believe, the fall of 2006. And I said to myself, "Hmmm. Dennis is into all this YouTube stuff--and that gives him the chance to control his own image. And mine! Maybe I need to get a videocam and think about uploading a video."

Oh yes. That's the way to do it.

This is NOT head cutting, but two guys playing music together.

This is two guys who listen while playing, instead of not listening and thinking about what they are going to play next.

Sometimes it sounds as if Adam is completing a line that Dennis starts.

I love playing in situations like this. The only thing I do differently is notice how the other harmonica player physically grooves on stage and try to get into step with him, providing a cool visual.
