It is just one man singing - one and the same man playing piano - and one kind of Blues -- that is all together : the holy Trinity of real folk MUSIC (like the 1941 plantation recordings of Muddy Waters), no stylish band is needed; the rhythm, words and music come out of a single person.

Yes so fine. Blind Owl was one of those musicians who seemed to kind of get overlooked. It didn't appear he sought much attention. And had he died a little bit earlier, he would have been a member of the group that rockers have been dying to get into for over 50 years; mournfully the 28 Club.

It’s sad because I think if he had lived a little longer he would have had a long term relationship. He was only 27 and a lot of sensitive, kind guys don’t find long-term girlfriends until they’re older. Such a loss and so sad that he had sadness and loneliness. It really bothers me.

I just transcribed the words to this song the night before last (7/4/21). Does anyone know where I can submit them (& possibly "get some sort of [even] *partial credit*) for working out the words to Blind Owl's beautiful song? (If not, it's OK; it's was sort of a labor of love & I just really like to do this kind of thing...). But/And it would be very cool if make the chord chart to this song. I just figured out the Bass notes on my JazzBass 15 minutes ago & I'm excited that I could "play Bass'" to Blind Owl's great slow blues piano & singing. I worked out the metronome setting on July 4th; & I think i remember it bein between m.m. 82 & m.m. 84. (He slowed down in some parts [or speeded up in others]). Thanks everyone who loves Alan's music as much (or more) than even I do. And thanks to whoever recorded this & thanks to the person or persons who posted this video here. The song starts on F#. It has a 4 Bar Intro & then seems to start at the '4' if I'm not mistaken...
