Blues News You Can Use!

Some Days...

Today you are getting an "evening edition" because....well....today just was one of those days for me. I know you know what I mean. It was one of those days where if you stop and think about how it is going you really will end up with the blues. The main conflict of the day for me was a plumbing issue related to a toilet. Just one of those days where you meet the place where someone ahead of you tried to make wrong right and you find yourself having to be part of the crew that has to step up and fix it. Just not fun.

So, I guess you all need to take it up a notch and go out and have fun to help me get over my day, lol! Lots if very cool stuff on for the evening including The

Reverend Jimmie Bratcher at the

Meteor Guitar Gallery in Bentonville!

PLEASE consider taking time to drop me

ideas or comments to me anytime at:

You have to open your mind. I like the ability to express myself in a deep way. It's the closest music to our humanity - it's like a folk music that rises up out of a culture.

This Week's Quote

Blues means what milk does to a baby. Blues is what the spirit is to the minister. We sing the blues because our hearts have been hurt, our souls have been disturbed.

The blues was like that problem child that you may have had in the family. You was a little bit ashamed to let anybody see him, but you loved him. You just didn't know how other people would take it.

I'm sure I would have been considered a more significant artist if I was a singer-songwriter. It's just not the way I roll. I love being a curator and a musicologist. People write me letters and thank me for turning them on to Fred McDowell and Sippie Wallace, and that's partly my job this time around.
