I'm looking at working on some little-known covers - "Baltimore Oriole"; and some Blues-based compositions of my own. 'Blues', in both the Miles Davis sense, as well as Jimmy Johnson et al. I've got a home for sessions; and I'm willing to pay for Studio time ( a bit down the road... ? ). This is an old-school situation where we walk through forms and tunes to get them where they should be.

I wanted to keep the Feel of P.B.'s intent; 'just a tiny change "Talkin 'Bout You" The Rolling Stones https://youtu.be/LK5JOccc6Fk Doing this pretty-much like The 'Stones, on December's Children
