The Things I Used to Do - James Peterson

(James Peterson)
2002
Guitar Slim aka Eddie Jones

Lucky Peterson brought his band and father over to my house during one of his return visits and we recorded 2 or 3 songs with my dinosaur ADAT home studio.  I don't know what happened to the 2 original tunes but this is an interesting cover of Guitar Slim's "The Things I Used to Do" with Lucky on organ - Popcorn on drums - forgot the bass players' name - the rhythm guitar was Rico McFarland but that track didn't take so I had to go back and recreate his part the best I could the next day - I played the slide on my Dobro and James sang with soulful power and conviction as usual.  The opening lyrics take on a new meaning now that he's gone to that big jam in the sky.  We miss you James.
