One of Rev. Gary Davis great instrumentals. He called this piece "Cincinnati Flow Rag" as well as "Slow Drag." It's a ragtime dance instrumental that combines the stumbles of Blind Blake with the genius of Rev. Davis. Played in the key of C. I combine "Cincinnati Flow Rag" with Blind Lemon Jeffferson's "Hot Dogs" - but played in a Rev. Davis style. This is a real fun instrumental to play. It will take some practice but is worth every moment.

"M&O Blues" in played in the key of E. It is a very well thought out guitar arrangement that compliments the vocal line. The opening phrase presents a Delta lick that is heard with variations in the playing of Son House, Charlie Patton and Tommy Johnson.
