Here, a music post. I dug through my old posts to youtube. I played the bass, guitar, and sang it. A THIRTEEN year old buddy played the drums! All the guitar work is on a Samick, lime green, acoustic guitar with a single coil peavey pick up and electric strings. I recorded the audio at a Radio station where I was working at the time. The video is totally ghetto.

That song is by Earl King! ... so it's a cover of Jimi's cover of Earl's song.

That's a fact. I never knew his name was Earl. I always read E. King as the credit.

Earl King was big in 60's New Orleans music.

Instrumentally I always thought "Trick Bag" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ7IkhdXb7U was a more interesting tune.
The lyrics to "Come On" are a lot happier though.

In another thread here recently about all time favorite songs I chose "Big Chief" by Earl King http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IOyBwrvOKA

Your version of "Come On" is pretty well done, as a nod toward the Hendrix version.

I think that is cool as heck!!!!!!

Same overalls you still wear? What did you have the guitar plugged into?

Thanks Glen! Hard to believe it's been that long. Probably around 11 years.

I wear those out in about two years unfortunately. I'm down from 6 pairs to just 2. I ran the Samick through a solid state fender amp.
