I saw CapitalG's version of another Deford Bailey tune a while back and it inspired me to post one I've been working on... Ice Water Blues - A Harp - first position.
Might want to make sure your dog is not in the room for the start of this one.
Thanks for watching!

Very cool! I didn't know that young guys with hair could play that kind of music! ;-)

Loved it! Nice bit of 'soundproofing' showing in the vid.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. lol Aussiesucker... my studio...
I've tried this song hundreds of times and there are still so many nuances that elude me. Inevitably I ask myself if it's even worth trying to get it note-for-note. A good exercise, at least.
For one thing, I think I may be held back by the fact that I never learned to bend notes reliably while tongue-blocking- I switch to LP.

Great job, really like some of the old stuff. You're not the only one who has to switch embrouchures. I usually tongue block on holes 3 and above. However my tongue block bending is feeble at best. I have to switch to LP to get an effective bend since I learned with LP first. Can be a bit clunky at times.
