[@davidpaterson1207]

At the age of 70 I thought I had heard everything,but I've never heard Mickey Raphael sing ! Lots of fun !

[@TheRatKing1776]

This song is also sometimes called "The Fishin' Blues" as bluesman Taj Mahal released it under that title. Great song. Mickey Raphael is a badass harmonica player.

Mickey gave me my first harp lesson after having selling him his wedding rings. Then told me what books to buy. He got me started!!!

I loved that😘. A precious gem 🏆🎖️🏅

[@airmojo]

Actually, the name of the song is "Fishin' Blues", written by Henry Thomas in 1928... Awesome to hear Mickey singing it and playing some harp on it... I first heard this song at a SPAH convention in the very early 1980s, played live by Peter "Madcat" Ruth... it became one of my favorite songs to play... many others have done it, Taj Mahal, Loving Spoonful (John Sebastian Jr), Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan, JJ Milteau, Carlos del Junco, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and... I always love hearing others' versions !

[@RickarooCarew]

probably one of my all time favorite songs... thanks y'all

[@RickarooCarew]

favorite harmonica player too

[@RickarooCarew]

so... I'm singing the fishin blues.. for all the years I have been married... and that other old time favorite... the diving duck blues... all the time.. sing with my cat.. the words get changed a considerable amount.. but hey . but.. heh heh heh.. my lovely wife doesn't know all the words by reading them.. she heard me... Taj Mahal.. Keb Mo... but the words were not written in front of her... a few months ago I pointed out some ducks in the local lake... diving... she said... I thought it was the "dying duck blues" ... might be right if the river was whiskey .. fer sure so next time you sing that song... you can know the real name... Jo knows all the words to just about any song you can think of... she's awesome... probably one pretty good reason to marry her... I always forget them... thanks for singing the song Mickey... thanks for sharing this video too love you guys 😘

[@RickarooCarew]

it's also the best way to get her to sing... honey.. how does that song go?... she's a little shy too that's never been a problem for me 😊
