Well done, lots of appeal! Harmonica is great! Nice live recording!

love it, love it, love it!!!!

Great Harp work...hard to pull off but you nailed it!

A blues in the style of traditional Sonny Boy or Little Walter , talk/sing , well performed.

This is an old live recording that if I had to guess (because of the lyric content) is at least 44 years old. It only features vocal and harmonica but is still a very compelling performance. Great job, Chet!

well done.... i dig the fact that one man and a harmonica can go out there and keep me entertained... dug the tune and the idea.

Great harmonica quality sound ( kudos to the sound board / recording tech(s)). Awesome vocal pitch control. I wasn' sure initially if this was really live or made to sound live. Just when the harmonica break was getting tiresome, you changed it up (you are a performer).

Nice tone on the harp. This sounds like and old recording. Also, I do believe this is tape, nice and warm feeling.
Was this at a political speech since I hear you mention Nixon?
Interesting piece of music.

love the lyrics and vocals

You have a very nice voice, a good sense of pitch and rhythm.

Good for only one person and two instruments.

AH YES!---really nice--simplicity is nice==thanxs--joe
