Thumb Thump

(fossil 1402)

[How to order this CD]

From 2002 

This disc is the answer to my many friends who have been asking 
for an album of blues & ragtime.  Herein are songs of hard luck, 
gambling, booze, lust, gluttony, jealousy, sloth and other deadly sins.  
Crying, bragging, moaning and shouting glory all to the tune 
of a syncopated guitar played with a strong right thumb 
measuring time with a steady thump. Step on in…
