Since I’m retired I have more time to follow my passion: to play fingerstyle guitar instrumentals. So I tried to play yesterday a tribute to MEMPHIS MINNIE, 1897-1973, yes, there are also women among the old blues masters, who influenced blues guitar roots…

Then, strolling through google and youtube I suddenly was very amused to discover a video featuring the song of Memphis Minnie – watch the bus driver in the second part of the video, as he consistently makes hunting a rebellious cop! Unforgettable also the horses that are animated by the general speed madness!
at first I heard about Memphis Minnie in this excellent book with blues guitar lessons by Richard Koechli:
