Techno Song That Counts Down From 10

Mississippi Camp Fire - Acoustic blues from Münster

Mississippi Campfire dedicated to the acoustic blues. With guitar, dobro, blues harp, kazoo, cajon and other percussion instruments, the trio a (time) trip through the world of traditional blues (and a little more!).

The Blue Train will start exploring somewhere in the Delta, where he not only again lodges several stops, but also branch lines.
It is not just (recently by Clapton and Peter Green revived) songs from Robert Johnson to hear, but also the music of half-forgotten heroes of the 20s and 30s such as Sleepy John Estes and Jim Jackson. A course car goes south to Louisiana and New Orleans to stay there, stuck in the middle earthy Swampsounds somewhere deep in the bayous. The other cars drive on the north, lay a short stopover in Memphis, then take a small pinch-Jugband Music on board and then to enter into the Illinois Central in Chicago.

The pre-war blues musicians like Big Bill Broonzy, Tampa Red ..... and early songs by Jimmy Rogers and Muddy Waters are invited in large parcels to cargo compartment.
And here loses the track of our train, a pinch of Country, a dash of boogie and finally a few home-grown musical packed in the suitcase. The songs are not just academically copied to the last scratch the old shellac records, but played as the musicians simply feel most comfortable. Blues musicians of all generations have never thought otherwise.

Bernd Werner
The percussion is primarily his main instrument.
In some band projects he swung the broom and made bobbin lace from the skin of the drums. His musical passion is rock 'n' Roll.
The blues is him with his many faces, not entirely new, and a proposal from the traditional, rather RAUR beat, the blues is so peculiar.
for MISSISSIPPI CAMPFIRE he waved from the drums on the cajon. The percussion player Bernd Werner came to the last group.
Mario and Burke had long been working hard to improve her repertoire and spent couple of appearances. It had clicked between the two long, with Bernd was added to double: from the duo was a real little band. Bernd brings years of experience in the ska and Rockabillybereich with one, is noticed here in Münster but above all by his swinging and stylish percussion at the "Groovy Iceland blues band in the scene.
in with Bernd's safe Backbeat background plays As laid back, the trio, as the musicians would not take on any stage or bars at the weekly sample, but gather relaxed around a campfire. Mississippi Camp Fire was born ........

Mario Hemken got in 1990 his first Cross-Harp and tootled same bike driving and playing around the country. After initial squealing harmonica Bob Dylan he turned to the blues, which still restrains his soul. He is since 1990 active in the blues scene as a harpist. Not only on countless sessions, but also by his role in the "Kitty Hawk" and the "Busy Bedbugs " He has proven to be in and around Münster harmonica player made not only with audiences but also with the musicians a good name. ImGegensatz to his other projects, playing Mario on the Mississippi, Camp Fire Blue Sharp largely acoustic, sometimes he does but also due to the electric sound of his hero Little Walter and Big Walter Horton. With Burkhard Ellger he found a partner who has mastered the rough, old blues with finesse. He plays and sings the blues of 20/30/40er years. And with that, especially the blues in its original form: Acoustically, without electrical instrumentation. addition to the blues harmonica and his lack of theoretical knowledge about music, he still plays the Membranophone, i.dt. : Kazoo. It works much like the old technique of the comb-blowing: One sings or hums to a membrane, which is distorted by their vibrations the sound, so a slightly saxophone-like sound is produced.
