Description

The Blues Sad and weary Sorry and weepin I've got the blues Blues The down and dirty Cryin and moanin Wailin and sobbin Blues My man's done gone My dog just left The car won't start Blues Rain's comin down It's colder than hell And the phone don't ring Blues My heart's just broke My feelins are hurt My soul's achin Blues No one cares I'm all alone The night's too long Blues So I'll sit here And sing These heartbreakin Blues Purge my sorrow Lose this pain Leave it behind Blues 1/16/09 I was talking to a friend last night about music and we both love the blues. This just came to me, and if I could write music, by gosh, I'd be singin it!! (not because it's it how I feel, cuz at the moment, life is GOOD!!)

Perfect. Now, I don't have the blues but boy am I a fan!!! I use a music service through TIVO called Rhapsody...you pays your $12/month and get all the music you want...B.B. King was my beginning. Now, I also thrown some country blues in there too. George Jones has been on tonight singing about lonesome train whistles, lost loves, drinkin', being in jail...you know all that uplifting stuff :) I love it and your words and illustration above are right on! Check this place out...I just found it yesterday and it is nearby (not been there yet): Knuckleheads

marilyn, I played blues for years and your lyrics are the best capsulization of blues lyrics I've seen. They're perfect! When you play blues for hours, you get into this 'zone' and you don't come out: I swear, at the end of some sessions I got up and was ready to ride my mule outa town. (I was in Chicago—trust me, there weren't a lotta mules around here...) I still have blues 78s & those old LPs. There was a guy here who had a shop all dark & dingy, the guy had every blues recording since the 1400s, and he'd pull out a rare Howlin' someone or other (I thought I knew names until I met him) and play them all day. I don't know how he stayed open, people just came there to listen. But I got great stuff from him, and this bein' the center of Electronic blues (Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, etc, great artists), hearing the old acoustic stuff was incredible. Great poem, glad your a fan! And the right picture too: an old guitar who prefers soft focus 'cause he's got scars, baby, he's been around...

... yes, Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf says, "...left eye twitching somebody gotta go..." of course, always was in the way he say's it along with the music... ~
