John Mayall has some strange ideas about blues instrumentation

He uses harmonium (pump organ), harpsichord, and violin (not fiddle, please note) on the Bare Wires album (1968), along with more conventional guitars, horns, and drums.  And his time signatures are odd, too:  several tracks are definitely in 3/4, 6/8, and 12/8, not the usual 2/4 or 4/4.

About Marchbanks

I'm an elderly tech analyst, living in Texas but not of it, a cantankerous and venerable curmudgeon. I'm yer SOB grandpa who has NO time for snot-nosed, bad-mannered twerps.
