I got turned onto an album of his when I was in early HS. . . .standing there in his long white robe with his guitar, I figured he was right next to being as wise as a god.<BR/>Just bought me a new bottle neck the other day. Strangest thing, it was in a little country store.<BR/>Gotta git out the ol LP, tune it up to E and give it a try.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-11474131816968684592008-05-01T15:55:00.000-05:002008-05-01T15:55:00.000-05:00sagacious: Hang with me.

When I was growing up, blues artists came to my house and played with my dad, who was a guitarist. My dad could also read music. These guys came to my house to get my dad to put their songs to music. That's how I got to see guys like John Lee Hooker, T. Bone Walker, Little Walter, and Sam Maghett (Magic Sam, another great guitarist). When I visited my aunt in Chicago, I would sneak out of the house and go to bars. Since some of those guys already knew me, they would let me stay and listen, even though I was under age. They were great. I don't know about others, but, being a blues lover, I think you'll like it. Be well.Mac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-23245307901417435822008-05-01T15:41:00.000-05:002008-05-01T15:41:00.000-05:00Mac, I used to have a very extensive album collect...Mac, I used to have a very extensive album collection of all kinds of good stuff like Mississippi John Hurt, one with MW and HW together, even one with Howlin Wolf and the Rolloing Stones. . . I'm not crazy about the Stones, but this album was great.<BR/>My first wife carted off all the albums. I stashed the last crate when I realized what she was doing but it was too late. She refused to give me the ones she wasn't interested in. . . like all the old blues stuff. . . man was I singin the blues for a looooong time. I even tried to get it into the divorce agreement. The judge wouldn't have it. Said she was tired of trivial shit in divorces. . . I tried to explain to her how non-trivial it was that I get my blues albums back but she wouldn't listen. . . and a black woman at that! Yudda think she'd a understood!<BR/>You've inspired me. I need to get online and see what good stuff is available. I'd like to hear some of that good stuff again.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-85229491843047877412008-05-01T10:29:00.000-05:002008-05-01T10:29:00.000-05:00nuninthehood: I know you're a nun, but something t...nuninthehood: I know you're a nun, but something tells me that, once in a while, you'd like to sit at a piano and sang "The Thrill is gone" or "Wild women don't get the blues." But don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.<BR/>Sagacious: I think you know your blues. And "The Wolf," as he was called, is one of my favorites. By the way, i'm going to do a post real soon about Hubert Sumlin, a great guitarist and the Wolf's leading guitarist until he died.

Thanks for that...It helped me to articulate what I FELT in my gut about the BLUES!
