Analysis of Classic Blues on Harp (riffs of James Cotton)



Don’t know all

Dass gonna come out

But I will make

You folks feel.

Mebbe some spastic sounds.

And wander wid me

And my boys

Down streets of hurting.

Some fine beauty

In the recollect.

Ride wid me Friends.

Diss night is special.

Sharing what might

Not otherwise be.
