Hello harp geeks,
I am looking for a bacing track to the original "Good Morning little schoolgirl" by Sonny boy I.
Ofc not available on youtube.
Would anyone have a hint of if smth close to the original instrumental can be found online? Paid or not...
Generally if anyone has an idea where I could find some more blues classics backing tracks (other than youtube) can you please share it with me?
Thanks in advance!

Glad to help!
I need to check out your link, thanks. It ain't stealing if they're sharing it :-)

See https://www.bluesharmonica.com/jam_tracks_cd for general backing track ideas (though some of them now probably dead links).
I saw Hal Leonard had a harmonica play-along series. Volume 10 (https://www.amazon.com/Blues-Classics-Harmonica-Play-Along-10/dp/1423426142) has that song in it, and it comes with a CD with two versions, one of them without harmonica (from some comments it seems also not to have the vocals). Another issue with this is the book seems to be out of stock, so it might be hard to find a copy. Amazon has the ebook version, which probably comes with a download link for the backing tracks.
There are some websites which sell backing tracks for famous songs, blues and jazz standards, etc. but I couldn't quickly find Good morning little schoolgirl the.
Another option is to make yourself the having track, with some kind of DAW. For example it's my understanding that GarageBand will auto-generate accompaniment for whatever chord changes you specify. The original accompaniment sounds simple enough that making your own isn't that hard, depending on your goal (for play along it'll be ok, for a recording it might be not enough and you might have to work on the track yourself). I recently made my own backing track for Snake Oil in BandLab and it wasn't too difficult and the result was acceptable for what I wanted it for (you can hear my version and get the link to it on BandLab so you can fork it and make your own version at https://www.bluesharmonica.com/share/recordings/snake_oil_2).
You could also try the Audacity plugins I mention on the Snake Oil comments, one of them might work for this tune.
