These songs all more than stand on their own, but in each case the introductions in these music vids kick things off on the right foot.

I used to think it was just practice I needed to make me a better mouth-harp player, maybe one of those cool Pignose mics that Red has. But now I know a handful of fancy rings helps. I love this song. Used to play it on the radio.



How cool would it be to be introduced by The Big O? I feel nervous for Eric at first...for a white guy (hell, for anyone) those are some tough shoes to fill. But he does a good job, never minding the head bobs.
