jagcorps, that was beautifully played, a perfect tribute
And since all blues songs are about being miserable and knowing it ....
Oh, is that the rule? I only know how to write happy blues! Are we allowed to post those here? When I am miserable and know it ... not that that happens often ... I sing happy songs to get me back to being happy.
I've written two blues songs and they are both ridiculously happy fluffy songs.
I'm sorry, I forgot to use the sarcasm tags.
What is this blasphemy of 'happy blues'?
To me, 'The Blues' is kinda like the 'black-and-blue' you get on your thumb when you miss with the hammer, but instead, the pain is in your heart, at the seat of your soul. It's a dull ache that ebbs and flows, and when the tide goes out, taken with it is all joy and hope, still leaving behind the dull ache to resonate in a hollow, dark place.
