I tried some flute on this, is this kind of what you are looking for?

I like your solo breaks. You wouldn't happen to have a clarinet would you?

unfortunatly,no, that would be perfect wouldn't it? Wish I did. I can give you some choices just on those solo break spots if ya want. Only other potential choice would be harmonica, which I just hack around with, or some acoustic guitar lead.

Ruminating incoherently here, these comments on tracks are what seems to take the place of using the blog...

hacking is not always a bad thing, it forces you to use simple ideas, and practice those 4 or 5 notes until you like the way they sound, and by then you own them & you can shout them with attitude, or wisper them in seduction.

many times that's what gives a tune a rebel attitude. the fact the musician sounds like he's wrestling the note out of the thing, be it Neil Young, Albert Collins, Bob Dylan, James Brown, Little Richard ...
3 or 4 well placed notes played with attitude.
harmonized with yourself if you wanna get fancy.
