Doing what he does best
Hey. Hung here. A few weeks ago prior to my “sickness”, which lead to”hospital”, full of “nurses” and you know Hells Hospital is a true fictional account of hospitals and nurses I forgot, due to the stress of rubbing shoulders with Loreen, to post about the request for Seasick Steve.
Seasick Steve was born a poor black American and saved up and had the operation, just like Mikey. No I jest. Steve is an American guy you plays the blues on guitar however his niche is that he tunes he guitar differently to standard tunings. Steves story can be found here,

That personalised style is a great way to play if you can do it, a bit like Jeff Healy.

Thanks Hung. Love Seasick Steve. First saw him on Jools Holland’s show, where he got his first big break (at 65!).
I’ve seen him interviewed recently, where he expressed his amazement at ‘young folk who watch his stuff on some damned toob thing on the inner-net.’
His tunings are weird, making it difficult to copy his slide guitar playing!!
