Fightin’ a Losin Battle But Havin’ a lot of fun Tryin to Win
The great song by Brownie McGee. It was always one of my favorites. It’s such a great progression. Brownie throws that dramatic third into the blues (in the refrain) and later throws in two extra fifths (sorry, I couldn’t refrain after that first refrain). And if you add them all up you get a one great song plus a fifth to go with it.
I know I haven’t lauded Sonny Terry and Brownie Mc Gee recently here on the blog. You can check out some of my covers and posts on them if you care to. If you paste Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee in the Search section a bunch of them will pop up. Anyway, Preston and I were playing it the other night.
It’s one of Brownie’s best songs. Again, Brownie and Sonny are worth checking out. And a good weekend to all.
yeah, great song!
Thanks. You’ve heard Sonny play harmonica?
No I haven’t heard it. do you have a link?
No, but you can just google them.
Good version of a classic guys!
It sure is a good song to play.
Ah, you were having a h… of a time playing it, didn’t you?! Shows! Enjoyed it with you. A happy weekend to you too, Stephen. đŸ™‚
Thanks, a great weekend to you too, Marina. Yes, it’s a great song, so it’s fun to play.
It’s always enjoyable to have a fifth with me when listening to good music.
Yes, I know my math didn’t exactly add up, but I figured it’s good to have that extra fifth
you’ve uploaded a great blues track again, Stephen!
P.S.:
a harp player from Hamburg downloaded one of my guitar tracks, added his harp and sent it back to me again:
