This is around 1995 with my time with the Birdman Blues Band live, this was a hot blues group playing the Classroom, blues road house of the San Fernando Valley.  My band partners were Chris on vocals (this is an instrumental so he did not appear on this track), Ron and myself on guitar, Terry on bass, Mike on drums and Dennis on harp.
