The funny thing about this fest is that it's bringing back to my memory songs, tunes and sounds lost in my brain for a very long time...

It has been this way for "Directly From My Heart to You". I recalled just a blues guitar riff and some wonderful fiddle playing, associated someway to Frank Zappa, and then...

I SAW THE LIGHT!!!  ;D

It was on "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" album (1970), but the original song was by Little Richard, who wrote it in 1956. Basically a blues in G. A GREAT blues in G!!!

I asked Giacomino to join and here is the result of this collaboration, a perfect example of Scottish-Sicilian blues...

Guys, you have me at the first note, the first blow of that mighty blues harp, this is sensational.  Jim, your vocals are stunning brother, scottish soul man, beautiful job.  asfstone, what can I say, your music is perfect.  You have got me all emotional listening to this wonderful tune.  This is officially my favorite of the Zappa-fest (so far).  Very nice job guys.

This is how it's done. Alfstone, great instrumental work. Jim way to let it loose on the vox. Very very impressive piece. I too loved the harp.

Fantastic pro-sounding. That harp-work is stellar and James I don't think I've ever heard your voice this way before. You still amaze me with every post!!!

I'm stunned. This is in a different league. The blues harp gets me right in the stomach, and the touches of hammond are sublime. Then there's that fantastic lead vocal from the famous Scottish bluesman Drunk Lemon Higgins, lol. My oh my... !
