Re: Octa Clark waltzes

The way Octa Clark was playing is very special.
Many players were inspired by Octa Clark.
It's very difficult to hear everything from a song.
Maybe you can hear it better when you slow down the song, but you allready did that I think.
Black Top Blues is also played by Dirk Powell on the CD La Pointe.

Re: Re: Octa Clark waltzes

I do not find it difficult in a song. I guess you kinda have to become one with the song block out all the other instruments playing in it and just listen to the accoridan. Octa clark was one of the greats I agree there. I like playing some waltzs like he did I wish I could play one and show you what I am talking about on youtube but i dont have a cam. One question. How can I put a link on here to where you guys and gals could click on it and here my band playing a song?

Aaron,

Just click Reply. You will see some boxes at the top to enter Name, Email, Website Link #1, Website Link #2, Website Link #3, and Subject. Link to your song at Website Link #1, 2 or 3. I don't think you need to put http:// in the front. It does it automatically, I think.

chapeau, Neill

Neill,
