Many happy returns!

When I first picked up a guitar and moved on from the Spanish classical stuff, Chicago Blues was what I got into. Mr Waters was my first inspiration; particularly this tune and specifically this version:

She's Nineteen Years Old

[Markytop]

Was listening to his Electric Mud album last night - the sound is more Hendrix than Muddy, but his voice just works so well with the style.
