Burlap and Blues, The Blues Blog

A discussion at Burlap and Blues reminded me of a jam I once participated in. It was actually the first blues jam that I ever participated in.

First few songs were just "blues in a", "Blues in C", "Shuffle in A"

I could hang with that... Just thought to myself this was really loud!

To be honest I never liked the song Mustang Sally. I never learned how to play it, so when they said we are ending this set with Mustang sally, I took a deep breath. I started swinging faking playing and getting into the tune, did a spin, and while facing the wall, turned my volume all the way off.

Turned around and started strumming hard...very very hard... It was honestly the first time I intentionally broke a string. BAM POP! and then there would be no turning my way to solo... Just got to stand and fake a few words.. No disaster!
