The Doc Fingers Band – Song of the week – October 7, 2013 – Long, Shiny And Black

DSC_8000When we visited our family in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, earlier this summer, we went to a great little Restaurant/Bar, the Cottage Bistro to see the Doc Fingers Band, and what a great night it was.

According to his web site, "Neal Hall, Vancouver Sun Music Critic says: " GOOD TIME MUSIC – IT'S WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED…. When it comes time for that therapeutic, good time, boogie woogie blues, jazz and rock and roll, there's no one that can tickle the keys quite like the Doctor."

I agree.

They played a version of Bob Dylan's, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry (I think that's the tune they were playing when I took the photo of the lead guitarist playing slide acoustic guitar on the right) that was fabulous. I asked Doc Fingers what it was and he explained it was a mix of Leon Russell's version

Thank you Doc Fingers Band! My apologies for not getting the names of the guitarist, drummer and saxophone player. They all did such a great job I should have paid more attention.

Visit Doc Fingers web site here… and you know the drill, please buy some of his music.

Hope you enjoy Long Shiny And Black, some good Texas style blues rock below.

Long, Shiny And Black
