Blues in a Dream.
This is more stuff from when I was a teenager. I don't know when exactly I did this but it was definitely sometime before the fall of 1989 because that's when the guitarist moved away to tokyo for college. My best guess it was the summer after high school because we would go to open mics or play short coffee house gigs.
Things to note, I was bending OBs back then and that's due to how I set up the harps. I learned to do that stuff when I was 15-16 and have been doing it ever since. It's very likely the bent OBs in this recording are some of the very first ones ever captured on a recording. I know Howard wasn't doing it back then and I didn't know any other OB'ers at that time. I'm not claiming to have "discovered" it but I was very into finding all sonic possibilities on the harmonica. Also note that I hit the 1 hole OB as well.
You can also hear my Sonny Terry influence in the blues.

Cool stuff. Sounds very 'before its time', especially for being in the late 80s.

Thanks Todd but really it's just Blues and I was never a hardcore blues guy so naturally the other stuff I was listening to at the time would creep in. I always liked to have themes to my music. ie; Blues in a Dream

That's great. I like the rythm guitar too. You would have toured in Europe at the time, you'd make a break. Even for now, I certainly would go to hear that kind of stuff live. For a blues, it sounds more modern than 99% of the blues I know.
