Lordy...I aint got but two things to say to THAT...
( sigh ) poor girl...

Rule #1- Don't be makin' love to your kin folk.

Rule #2- Don't!


That kind of blues makes other folks blues seem ordinary.
But that don't mean Bessie Smith aint gonna lay it on down for ya anyway...

The Best News In Blues So Far...

" It's latest form has taken shape nicely in Akin Babatunde's sweetly enthralling performance as the title character in "Blind Lemon Blues," an inspired, highly original tribute to blues singer and guitarist "Blind" Lemon Jefferson.

More than just a revue of Jefferson's countless country blues classics, this abstract narrative tells the story of his rise from a legendary street musician in Dallas to a top-selling recording artist who became a seminal influence on American popular music. "

Now THAT'S what I call news. Give it up to the man! Akin Babatunde. Yeah boy, and that aint all, either. There is always some press about me out there for sure, if you've forgotten about me that quick.

And I aint always singin' about the sad blues.

Here's one for the ladies:

The Madoff Gang?

Now, it's official. They're a gang. I wonder what they would be if they were a gang of rappers...

IWA ? (Investors with attitude)
The East Side Ponzi Posse?
The Mady Bunch?
The Credit Cripplers?
Public Finance Enemy
The Banksters?
The MC's? (Madoff Creditors)
A Tribe Called Trust?

Who knows? I don't think they were listening to the good folks music. Like some blues or country or rock and roll. Even real hip hoppers don't screw people over in that grand of a fashion.
Sounds like Bernie and his "gang" have been doing crime since they were young.

40th Aniiversary For Apollo...gr8...Now What?

NASA is finishing construction of the station, a $100 billion project of 16 nations, and plans to retire the shuttle fleet next year. After that, the United States plans to pay Russia to ferry crews to the outpost, which orbits 225 miles above Earth.

"We've spent a lot of money up there for almost nothing. It's almost a white elephant," Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell said. "Until we can really get a return on our investment on that particular project, then it was money wasted."

One small step for man....one giant economic disaster for mankind.

Seems to me these new NASA folks aint really tryin' to hear what the WEED is for! Look y'all, if you want minimal spending for a useless outer body experience...get a card and go down to the club and get some Lunar Crush. Or some Galaxy Quest. Maybe some Rocket Red Eye. Otherwise spend the big money on the kids. Before they grow up and start complainin' about everything like we do. Broke.

Feed 'em. Clothe 'em. Educate them. But don't make these poor kids look at the heavans above wishin' on a star that's made of steel. That aint right. And it always ends up as something we regret as people. Listen to these children sing about a penny waitin' on change.

Some damn fine blues, can’t believe it’s done by children. A brilliant record from the Homemade Jamz’ Blues Band - 3 young siblings: Ryan Perry 15 yrs old/lead guitar & vocal, Kyle Perry 13 yrs old/bass player and Taya Perry 9 yrs old/drummer.
