This is written tongue in cheek, just for fun. I don't listen to the blues, so I don't really understand them, to say the least. So I've got the blues, when it comes to the blues. Happy New Year all. :-) Blues Blues J. M. Strother Like I always said, I don't know the blues And I always said, I don't sing the blues So this shouldn't be any shocking news. Now I don't see the rhythm on the page. And I don't get any beat from the page, Looks like a big white rectangular cage. From what they say, first line's not diminished. What they always say, second line is diminished. Makes my head spin, and think I am finished. Seems I heard the turn had to be upbeat Seems I heard mine are always downbeat So no coins in my hat, on this mean street. At least now I know what a coda is But for writing blues, I just have no biz. jon
