[Dixielandjazz] Willie the weeper

[rorel at aol.com]

 I agree. I wonder why he chose Willie the Weeper? Perhaps the minor key appealed to the dark side of his Heavy Metal personality.
 
 To be honest, if it were not for the over-modulated, distorted sound of the guitar itself, the fellow actually stayed within the changes and had some interesting ideas (from what I could tell). I wouldn't pay money to go hear him, but the guy does have some musicality to him. Just not the kind I would patronize. 
 
 And if nothing else, it brought me back to John's website which, I am ashamed to say, I have not visited in far too long a time. To John I say thank you, it is better than I remember it -- and I always thought it was finer than frog's hair.

  I found it interesting that he chose old time music to play over!   Was it 
because he liked it, or was he trying to poke fun at it.   He had to work harder 

to play along with it than he would have with a straight simple chord 
progression.
Interesting phenomenon.
John
