Howdy Folks.

Just got off the skype with Ron Teamer in KC talking about his song 'Sweet Mama Told Me' which we've been playing for the last month.

Before we started playing it, I called Ron up to ask what the lyrics were. In the spirit of true Bluesmen, he makes up'em as need requires. I had taken notes on the 3rd verse recorded at Dannys lawn party, but didn't catch the first two.

Ron suggested that I make the other two verses up as he 'had the lyrics round here somewhere' but couldn't quite put his hand on them.

I took some notes whilst Ron talked about the meaning of the song and used them to write a few verses. The song has been going well at shows and we thought we might try recording it so i called up Ron to run the verses past him and see if they were acceptable, or if he'd laid his hand on that old piece of paper.

Nervously, I read out the lyrics and I could hear Ron's brow crinkling in concentration so I switched to singing it....and found approval.

Thanks to the magic of the internet, we now have our first international co-written song. Yay.
