That was Joe Bonamassa with "Your Funeral My Trial." It's from his 2006 album, "You and Me." And I'll play that for Rich Hamill. We were both at Joe's gig in Leicester a few weeks ago. Rich was right down the front house, right at the back. And you know how they say, "If you think the music's too loud, you're too old." "I'm too old." However, Rich had a great time. This is Roy Buchanan.

It's from his new album, Blue's Intervention. And he's just been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame as a great blues artist from Canada. So that's well done to him. Feel that Roy Buchanan with the nickel and a nail from his 1985 album when a guitar plays the blues without his clay gusting on vocals. A couple of songs now featuring Louis Armstrong on Corners.

And Clara Smith was no relation to Bessie Smith or Mamie Smith, they were all just Smiths. Before that birth at Chippy Hill with Trouble in Mind recorded in Chicago in February 1926, again with Louis Armstrong on Corners, and this time Richard M. Jones on Piano. And I wondered why she was called Chippy. Apparently she was given that nickname because of her young age. She was working by the age of 14. I'm going to change the style now. Let's have some Freddy King.
