The Boss is on his way to Winona, and in a bit I'm headed that way myself. I needed a little coffee to get me going, though, so I stopped in here and made a pot that will hopefully last the weekend.

 CarterHayes  February 22, 2010, at 12:01 am  4 LTEs  Blue Monday, Delta blues, guitar heroes, Son House I suspect the performance of this song is probably not going to be most folks' cup of tea, but I consider listening to at least one Son House song mandatory for anyone who claims to love rock & roll or American music in general (not to mention the blues). You can pretty much connect [...] CarterHayes February 15, 2010, at 12:01 am 2 LTEs Blue Monday, blues, electric blues, guitar heroes, T-Bone Walker, texas blues A little something to rinse that stale candy taste out of your mouth. Recorded in Baden-Baden, West Germany, in 1962 as part of the very first American Folk Blues Festival. The German jazz giant Horst Lippmann promoted the annual festival, which functioned as a European tour featuring some of the all-time great blues musicians [...] CarterHayes February 8, 2010, at 12:01 am One LTE Blue Monday, blues, chicago blues, Maxwell Street Chicken Man, Robert Nighthawk Over the next three weeks I'll be bringing this run of Blue Monday to a close. What started out as a week's worth of interesting blues videos has sprawled into three months of Mondays (and I haven't even shown some of the videos I had originally selected). It's been fun sharing my enthusiasm [...] CarterHayes February 1, 2010, at 12:01 am 7 LTEs Blue Monday, blues, blues-rock, modern electric blues, Moreland & Arbuckle Every Saturday night I tune in to a community radio station that broadcasts out of the People's Republic. For four hours I'm treated to Rockin' John McDonald's I Like it Like That (mostly rare '50s and '60s rock & roll, soul, rockabilly, and surf) followed by Two for the Blues, billed as "Blues from [...] CarterHayes January 25, 2010, at 12:01 am 3 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Blue Monday, blues, chicago blues, electric blues, guitar heroes, J.B.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Well, cross Kevin Kouzmanoff the list of potential solutions at third (that is, if he was ever on it). The A's got him (and a minor leaguer) last night, and the Friars got Scott Hairston back along with a 23 year old named Aaron Cunningham, who owns a .309./382/.493 slash line in 2124 minor [...] CarterHayes January 11, 2010, at 12:01 am 4 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Banjo, Blue Monday, blues, diddley bo, Seasick Steve One beat up three-string guitar, one wooden box, and a whole hellva lot of awesome. And, if three strings are just two too many for you, there's a video of Steve playing his diddley bo (a 2x4 with one broom wire nailed on it), followed by a tune on the banjo, after the jump.

It might not fit some folks' definition of "blues music," but I personally just don't see how you can listen to those lyrics and come away with anything but the blues. RIP, Roy. Mrs. CH is making pancakes if anybody wants some. |
 Wolves lose again by 22, Kevin Love down to 17 minutes. This is the worst possible situation for the Wolves. They are driving what is left of their fan base with a tremendous stretch of terrible basketball. Their best, or second-best, player has checked out and is getting buried on the bench. I doubt that Love is in their long term plans. How's that O.J. Mayo deal looking now? |
