''Nice work there Ringer. Try to put your performance a bit more forefront and don't be too shy in your playing. You seem to hold it a bit sometime. Globally a good post!''

''Starting to swing pretty well there. The sound is good but seems a little submerged? Don't forget the lower octave.''
--Magic Martian
Texas Blues
''Good variety of techniques. Keep working, you're getting better.''
--Downhome Dave
Texas Blues
''Hey I heard some improvement going on in that. Encourage you to play intentionally (have a melody in mind) rather than just free flow. Good work.''
--Blueshiner
Texas Blues
''You are really starting to put some melody and rhythm together nicely! Good one. It is coming together.''
--BlueInGreen
Texas Blues
''I can hear you doing some lead then dropping back to do some light chugging. Way to try and change things up Ringer. Try to work some of the low end for some grunt too.''

''Yes I enjoyed listening to it. Your playing is definitely getting better.''
--Appleman Ed
Texas Blues
''tone and playing really coming on - warbles working well - keep working on right notes for chord - lots of good ideas here!!''
--htrain
Texas Blues
''By golly you are moving right along. Tone had much more depth and body to it than earlier posts. Playing has improved. Hear the makings of a real jammin harp player comming from you. Felt some parts didn't quite fit the BT's chord changes.''

''A bit too European for me. BT sounds like early 80's synth bands when they just started out. Harp follows when it should have sounded different.''
--Naptown Blue

''Cool sound, but didn't really catch the groove.Try keeping a constant rhythmic pattern going over the track and then subbing in melody and leaving space.''
--BlueInGreen
Ex-tro-V-erte-D
''You got the right idea for the arrangement. I enjoyed it a lot. Some high notes did make the ear wax balls roll out my ear. And I think you should play in those stops aggressively. Just my taste.''

''good rhythmic variations keeps it interesting - good to leave spaces where you did - warbles working well - you thought your way through this one and it came off well - keep working at the flow!!''

''Really jammin BT, Dan. The more you play, the easier it will be to follow the I,IV,V blues progression. Your tone will get there too as long as you keep at it. Keepem rollin.''
