Some folks say the Big Bill Blues ain't bad
Must not have been the Big Bill Blues they had

Mama move your false teeth,
papa wanna scratch your gums

Yes folks, here you will find the answer
to all of the following questions which I just know have been nagging you and
keeping you awake for nights on end with those I-wish-I-knew-blues...
- Has anybody ever written a blues song about spaceflight?
- Is there a blues song that mentions the Kinsey Report? Or Godzilla?
Or President Eisenhower? President Johnson? Napoleon Bonaparte? President
de Gaulle of France? Margaret Thatcher?
- Has there ever been a blues recorded to the accompaniment of a sewing
machine?
- Is there a blues about bad breath?
- And how's about a blues on the Internet?
- And how do I know if my mojo is working?
- More importantly, how lowdown can you get??
- And most importantely, what is the blues, anyway???
You can find out the answers to all these burning questions and more,

When you're thinking of black sheep
Just take a look at me
I'm the blackest of black sheep
That ever left old Tennessee
-Monette Moore, "Black Sheep Blues"
I have not limited myself to the well-known 'hits' in the repertoire, like
St. Louis Blues, Dust My Broom, Stormy Monday, Little Red Rooster, etc.
You'll find here some pretty obscure songs by some pretty obscure artists;
I have tried to avoid the all-too-common "woke up this
morning and my baby was gone"-type of lyrics (some exceptions
may have crept in), unless they had something original to say.
But the choice is mine alone and I apologize if you don't find what you would
like to find (my collection is limited, too :)
So enjoy this, my tribute to the blues and, I hope, a reflection not only on
the blues itself but on the world in which this music was created.
And if blues is her sadness
Then blues music is her cure
- Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin
TOPICS AVAILABLE HERE:
My heart is made of heartaches, blues is my middle name
Make no difference how hard I try, I'm mistreated just the same
- Ray Charles

You don't mess around with the blues.
You just don't mess with the blues.
I can hear young yuppies yellin',
"The blues just ain't for me"
But if you're drivin' a taxi,
And you got a Ph.D.
You got the blues, young yuppy
Sometimes you have 'em every day
- Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham
