Steam powered fire engine blues - 1894 rhythm machine!

Yes my friends, today I found myself a new drummer! Built in 1894 and still alive and well (after some TLC). A fire engine powered by steam, drawn by horses to wherever the fire was.. An awesome old machine with a laidback cool rhythm perfect for some blues! Playing a mid to late 1930's National Duolian or Triolian, can't tell 'cause the neck was gone and it's got nickel plating instead of paint. Nice vintage blues combo!! The fire engine is owned by a fine museum called Arvesundsmuséet and a team called Jerngenget did the restoration! Thanks for letting me jam some blues with it! Had a hard time keeping up with the tempo though, haha!!

Always a treat to hear you play…

[@BottleneckJohnBlues]

Thank You very much, good to have you here diggin' it!!

[@TalkinAboutTheDude]

I like the natural acceleration... can't fake it

[@BottleneckJohnBlues]

Haha, yes indeed. It speeds up when the steam builds up! From slow to fast, great fun!

[@19tractor52]

Hey Martin! Huge thanks for the comment, see you in Prague someday, been years since I played there last!

[@teemlee51]

Never played with a drummer that couldn't but speed up! Lol. Well played

[@BottleneckJohnBlues]

Haha, me neither! In this case it speeds as the fire under the boiler grows! From slow blues to rock'n roll..

Good Job John

[@onecargaragehotrods9192]

Big smile when I seen a new video from you love it man 👍❤️

[@BottleneckJohnBlues]

Hey, thanks a lot for watching!!!

[@vikingbeard]

This is so great, like a new younger Johan. I think your singing and guitar playing benefit from the energetic drummer and the slightly overdriven amplified sound.

[@Poohze01]

Great rhythm to jam to! So good!

[@malaquiasalfaro81]

OHHH YEA

[@Tomekgmz]

I always like your playing, this time you played thru the amp, right? What's the amp and pickup? Usually, resonators sounds the best acoustic, but this sound great!

[@BottleneckJohnBlues]

Thanks Tom!! Yes plugged in this time, playing through a Roland Street Cube, both voice and guitar. Good little amp for most events, got a bigger one too, called Street Cube EX. Awesome small PA systems really.

[@CopperSmith1]

What is the name of this song? It feels like Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry.

[@BottleneckJohnBlues]

The lyrics are from You can't get that stuff by Tampa Red!

[@thestcroixkid]

Killer voice...great playing too..
