Hi all,

I just found out about this exciting Jump Blues tune while looking for Swing / Boogie backing tracks.
I hope you will like it.
It's the 1999 version of Lisa Stansfield. The original version was in 1946 by Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five.



Blessings,
Abel

Absolutely brilliant Abel. I've posted elsewhere about this but I'm still buzzing from it. What a great guitarist you are.

All the very best,

Len

Enjoyed that, glad you got the Chet arm set up to your liking.

Glad you liked it folks,

I like challenging tunes especially now after retirement.

Alan,
Actually I never succeeded in setting the arm high enough.
I added another coin, but the arm would almost come off the spring housing if I pulled too much
I had to tweak the arm upward. It doesn't look or feel good, but I couldn't do better.

Blessings,
Abel

Brilliant, Abel!

I've got to get back over to your SoCal recording studio some time soon...

Hi Jim,

Studio haha!

When are you coming?
We just came back from a fantastic cruise.
Gillian and Ian joined us on this superb New England / Canada cruise and maybe Gillian could post
a video of it on YouTube.

Blessings,
Abel
