Women and the Blues
I think that all of you would agree that women definitely experience the blues. As a matter of fact, if we look at the Blues guitar as a symbol of the Blues women would represent the moan and shrilling sound the bottle neck produces as it slides down the throat of the instrument. Yes, women know all about the blues. I want to share my thoughts about the blues and women in my upcoming post. Stay tuned. Peace~

I'm not talking about misery as much as I am talking about the blues as a creative musical genre. For instance, I sometime experience happiness in the midst of listening to the Blues. Joy. Well, joy is more long term. I'll have to write about that sometime. :)
I thought of you yesterday when I received the most amazing gift. My 93 yr old grandpa talking bout his life on DVD!! I have to figure out a way to youtube it!
Thank you dear. How have you been? The video of your grandpa sounds interesting. Let me know if you get it on youtube.

Exactly, I learned even more when I did my research on the Blues and women. Thanks for that info.
The Blues is just as American as apple pie. Why should the Blues feel so much at home here? Well, America created the atmosphere.
"I think that all of you would agree that women definitely experience the blues." Cynically speaking, women are often the source of the blues.
LOL!! I ain't sayin' nothing cause my wife reads my blog sometime. :)
Thanks for the info on Thornetta Davis. I'll check her out.
