Early This Morning
Early This Morning Album: Apartment Music - not released yet Genre: Blues
This is an old Blind Blake tune that I first heard done by David Bromberg maybe thirty years ago. I've tried to figure out all the licks he did and got some of his and some of my own and they usually change each time I play this, so every once in a while I upload a new version.

This is one of the many short, sweet fingerpicking tunes that I've written. I recorded this many years ago and I'll redo it for the cd. It doesn't really fit in any category, except short sweet fingerpicing tune.
