Hey David - great resurrection (as opposed to insurrection, which ain’t so great!) of an old thread. And timely, as Sad Hours is my latest project with David Barrett. Ive been at it for a month - found the first two choruses to be pretty straightforward, but 3 & 4 are much more complicated and time consuming to get them into muscle memory. I’ll be working on the 5th verse today. My goal is to get a version I could post here. I’m so glad that in the midst of a crazy 2020 I was fortunate enough to become David’s student and (begin to) learn to tongue-block. It opens up so much additional sound on the harp.
I hope you and your family are safe & sound. Have you had the jab(s) yet? We got #1 last Tuesday- Pfizer - and are schedule for the 2nd on the 27th. Here’s to a (more) normal 2021. Adios amigo.
You did a great job on Sad Hours David. IMO the key is the turnarounds - especially in chorus four. Little Walter is insanely creative in them. And of course all of chorus five is challenging. Good on ya.
