Here is an other song and a little movie i made. It's called Fox on the run written by Tony Hazzard performed by Peter Lavell on guitars and Vocals . I hope you like it as much as i enjoyed recording it

Living with the Blues

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee wrote this song. It was snowing when i recorded this so here is living with the blues performed by Peter lavell and a walk around the block to see the snow in Amsterdam. As usual i played all Instruments and did the Vocals and had to do the walking all by myself which was a lot of fun as you can see.
