Why "Divers and Sundry"?
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

Wonderful music, thanks! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like the sound.
Delete...a great song.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though! Perfect for Memphis :)
DeleteWow, the sounds he could get from his guitar! Sad that he passed away so young.
ReplyDeleteCancer takes so many too soon :(
DeleteThat fits my mood on this wet and cold holiday weekend! Thanks for a good song!
ReplyDeleteWe have sunshine and highs in the 80s! Nice weather for the holiday weekend :)
DeleteDon't hear this kind of music much, but I like it. Is it called the blues? The Memphis blues?
ReplyDeleteWikipedia calls him "hill country blues": "(also known as North Mississippi hill country blues or North Mississippi blues) is a regional style of country blues. It is characterized by a strong emphasis on rhythm and percussion, steady guitar riffs, few chord changes, unconventional song structures, and heavy emphasis on the "groove", which has been characterized as the "hypnotic boogie""
DeleteI'll take their word for it. "Blues" is as close as I can get lol
I love his music. I could listen to this all day long.
ReplyDeleteMe, too :) A great sound.
DeleteMany thanks for sharing this :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteI'm going to try this ONE more time. McDowell sure knew how to get the most out of his guitar. Looks like the robot is going to let this publish.
ReplyDeleteHoorah! He does know his way around that guitar, doesn't he!
DeleteWonderful, such a fabulous musician 😀. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
