Those are some of the guys I listened to when I started playing my first instrument, the harmonica, and those tunes just stick in my head all the time. The do make great banjo tunes.

There are any number of songs you could sing along with that, such as "Got My Mojo Working" by Muddy Waters, "Sloppy Drunk" by Jimmy Rogers, "Tell Me Mama" by Little Walter. The tunes I mentioned are/were played in an amplified full-band setting and are quite famous in the "Chicago Blues" world, but they would work for sure and can definitely be "countrified". I mean they are just country blues in essence. One thing: You might not want to imply that V7 chord at the end of some choruses instead of hammering it. Just a thought.

I´d like to join you! We would sit on a cliff high above the beach, look down to the Aegean Sea where Homer (NOT the Simpson-guy!) sang his songs about Troja and Odysseus, Yannis would play the banjo, you play your dobro and I take the greek bouzouki. Posting this on your blog would even top the bathroom-singers ;-) Thank your for your good work! Wolfgang Patrick, before you go to Crete give me a call. I´d like to join you!

Heck, if the tune has a couple of measures of 'G' in it, Patrick, I'll show you how to drink left-handed so you don't even have to stop strumming in order to persue both simultaneously!
