like the live percussion :) Otis Redding classic ;) nice rendition ..the "feel"  is there ..no doubt !!!!

Hang on a minute, I'll run back to the house and grab my slide and harp :-) smashing sounds from the kitchen

@fingerstyle_guitar: Flip, Flop and Fly was the last offering, my friend and Dock of the Bay is a favorite of mine.... I was out on the porch bowl of pipe in one hand and a beer in the other listening to this set making its way across the neighborhood and thinking to myself, it doesn't get any better than this.  ")

When all is said and done and everyone have packed up their gear and headed home and you find yourself wondering down  the rabbit hole  of quiet desporation...  .....  home to the disingaged, home to the failed idealists, home to the politically violated  ...  Home to the Blues...  
 After hours in Lower Westport was an unplugged session, (no amps, no mics) just an acoustic guitar and two voices wailing into the wee hours of the morning...  It was part of  an evening where we christened our new old kitchen down by the ocean (early September 2015) featuring Rockin Shirley and Cool Cliff who stayed on well after everyone else had gone home.

Lowell Fulson, Three O'clock  in the Morning

"3 O'Clock Blues" or "Three O'Clock Blues"[1] is a slow twelve-bar blues recorded by Lowell Fulson in 1946. When it was released in 1948, it became Fulson's first hit. When B.B. King recorded the song in 1952, it became his first hit as well as "one of the top-selling R&B records of 1952".[2]
The song lyrics start out "as an insomniac's lament, but end up with a weepy farewell more suited to a suicide note":[5]   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_O%27Clock_Blues

Otis Redding and Steve Cropper, "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" is a song co-written by soul singer Otis Redding and guitarist Steve Cropper. It was recorded by Redding twice in 1967, including once just days before his death in a plane crash. 

In a September 1990 interview on NPR's Fresh Air, Cropper explained the origins of the song:

Otis was one of those the kind of guy who had 100 ideas. [...] He had been in San Francisco doing The Fillmore. And the story that I got he was renting boathouse or stayed at a boathouse or something and that's where he got the idea of the ships coming in the bay there. And that's about all he had: "I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again." I just took that... and I finished the lyrics. If you listen to the songs I collaborated with Otis, most of the lyrics are about him. [...] Otis didn't really write about himself but I did. Songs like "Mr. Pitiful," "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)"; they were about Otis and Otis' life. "Dock of the Bay" was exactly that: "I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco Bay" was all about him going out to San Francisco to perform.[5]   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(Sittin%27_On)_The_Dock_of_the_Bay

Sam Cook, "Bring It on Home to Me" 

"Bring It on Home to Me" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released on May 8, 1962 by RCA Victor. Produced by Hugo & Luigi and arranged and conducted by René Hall, the song was the B-side to "Having a Party". The song peaked at number two on Billboard '​s Hot R&B Sides chart, and also charted at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song has become a pop standard, covered by numerous artists of different genres. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_It_On_Home_to_Me

Big Joe Turner, "Flip, Flop and Fly" 

"Flip, Flop and Fly" is a jump blues-style song recorded by Big Joe Turner in 1955... (It)  has an arrangement similar to Big Joe Turner's 1954 #1 R&B hit "Shake, Rattle and Roll"[4] and it has been suggested that "leftover verses [from the 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' recording session] were then recycled into Turner's follow-up hit, 'Flip, Flop and Fly.'"[5] Both are up-tempo twelve-bar blues with a strong backbeat. 


After Hours in Lower Wedgeport: featuring Cool Cliff & Rockin' Shirley

I simply don't have the time to invest in listening to fellow musicians this year so I have decided to stop my pro account.... may return in 2018 if I have more to offer and more time to listen to others on the cloud.   The last 5 years were truly special, met some wonderful artists in the process and have some fond memories.  Thank you all .

Kitchen parties are part of the cultural heritage of the Maritime provinces and you will discover that every jam has its own unique personality depending on who is sitting in the circle that evening...

The Free-Wheeling Kitchen Party House Band  is made up of musicians from different disciplines that come together every now and then in Yarmouth county, Nova Scotia, Canada to have a few drinks, tell a few stories and of course to free jam into the wee hours of the morning. The only rule of thumb is that we not play the same song twice in one evening... 

All sets are played on the fly so don't be surprised if you hear someone calling out a cord change now and then... enjoy. 

We  also started up a group on soundcloud under "Kitchen party live jaming" for anyone who might have recordings of jams with friends and fellow musicians in their basement somewhere ;)
