Level: 2/3

Delta bluesman Bo Carter, a member of the renowned Chatmon family, recorded many bawdy blues tunes in the 1930s, including "Please Warm My Weiner,""Banana in Your Fruit Basket" and "Your Biscuits are Big Enough For Me." The first to record "Corinne, Corinna" he was a sometime-member of his family's band, the Mississippi Sheiks. This tune, in the key of E, has raggy, circle-of-fifths chord changes similar to what I call the "Alice's Restaurant" progression, which includes tunes like "They're Red Hot"" and "Bring It On Down To My House Honey." The thumb alternates bass notes, Travis-style, during most of the tune, and some fancy chords may give your left hand a workout.
