Church Street Blues

Nancy mentioned this tune recently. Long a favorite of mine. It's a Blake tune, but I learned it from Rice on his album of the same name.

Here's Tony in his prime. Great coverage of his right hand - note the way the thumb breaks from arched to straight as he pushes the pick through the string. Textbook!


I wouldn't lend money to Tony and expect to get it back, but he's still my Hero!

Incredible originality-the way he hesitates and overlaps the tempo.
