I dreamed up another 12-bar blues boogie, starting with a melodic phrase from 'Whistling Rufus', combining it with the Lester Flatt G-run, then a bluesy variation of the 'Whistling Rufus' phrase, transposing these phrases to the C7 and D7 chords, and putting in a dash of the famous bass line to 'My Girl', phrased a bit differently. It all makes for a 12-bar blues (I hope) - and the assorted melodic contours become one melody. Actually, the bluesy 'Whistling Rufus' phrase is almost the classic bluegrass G-run (adding a "blue" flatted third), and it's no big stretch to follow up with the bass line to 'My Girl', which is ascending major pentatonic mode.
