BPDG 3aim1


A freewheelin' jam on the ole Baby Please Don't Go riff, loosely based on Muddy Mater's version.
Big Joe Williams and others did it before Muddy, it is after all a "folk" tune, like all the basic blues
songs, but Muddy's is the obvious model for Them's version with Van Morrision on vocals and supposedly Jimmy Page as the session guitarist and then Michigan's own terrible Ted Nuggent's Amboy Dukes version with his Hendrix nod...what comes around, goes around. Arrowsmith and AC/Dc
continued the tradition.....

"At Last"
"The great Beyoncé. Like I said, she ain't mine. ... I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day, gonna be singing my song that I've been singing forever."
Etta James
Etta lived the life and sang the songs
and was far more than just another pretty face.
