"Let's Go Get Stoned" - remix of Ray Charles cover...

Here’s a remix of “Let’s Go Get Stoned” (based on the Ray Charles #1 R&B hit from 1966) that I recorded a few years ago.

I started with a karaoke track, changed the key to B so that I could play along with my Lucky 13 Bass Harmonica - key of E - in second position. Then I croaked out the lyrics.

Since I forgot to turn on my camera and video the vocal portion, I added the beginning part of the video. The blues harp playing was recorded in real time.

This is a classic blues song, written by Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson, and Josephine Armstead - the Ray Charles recording has always been my favorite version. It’s a great song… and I sure miss Mr. Charles, bless his soul.
