If that song is familiar, the following cover should provide some clues.

Zepparella guitarist, Gretchen Menn, has her own webpage. She's quite accomplished and is from a musical family. She used to fly commercial jets. I don't think there's any doubt whether she can read music.
That song is called "Oleo Strut." Can you just imagine churning butter?

Don't look like no Menn to me.
The bass figure in the Sonny Boy Williamson piece goes 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, etc. I might not have noticed that prior to being schooled on church music the other night.
My brother says Sonny Boy Williamson is the Slim Harpo of Charlie McCoys. My brother talks funny.
She is an excellent guitarist - I think I can kind of see what she is going for in the strut song, regardless, she plays very well. Her bass player plays a 5 string bass. The drummer - well, he has good timing.
I forgot to mention that I really like the call and response that Sonny Boy did with himself at the beginning of that tune - that is good stuff right there.
Sonny Boy was the real deal. He had some funny songs too, like "Too Close Together."
Suggest a 'Chip needs a belt' tag.
Some days we could all use a belt. I had a local leather worker make mine and now my pants don't fall done.
Millions rejoice.
^down^ - sheesh, lack of sleep and caffeine is my excuse and I am going to remedy that right now.

Is that like a walking jazz bass line? Please explain.
I like your point about the call and response. Hendrix used this with his guitar and voice.
“Suggest a 'Chip needs a belt' tag.”
How about amanapour II.
Chick, when you stop by to pick up some aromatic air dried white oak I can demonstrate what I mean on the piano, if you bring a piano. Otherwise I would Babylon endlessly and my words would never make it clear.
lol Sixty, that wasn't a Freudian half-slip, or anything?
Chick does it again. No fair doubling up on amanpour!
