Just Moseyin'

This piece is a simple 12-bar blues in E.  The main 12-bar verse was written in one sitting a few weeks ago.  The solo that I take the third time through the 12-bar form was written last night.

The whole song uses the E blues scale.  I emphasize the Bb 'blue note' often.  The hardest thing about the piece is the little vibrato placed on sustained notes in the melody.  I usually got it in this recording, but I miss it a few times.

The main influence on this composition was probably Howlin' Wolf's "Spoonful."  I used my Walden Natura DC550CE for this recording.
