How To Be Guitar King

Hey y'all...how ya doin' in these here rough times? Got plenty to do? Good. Keep yourself busy and you won't get to worryin' about things that don't need worryin' about. Take it from somebody who grew up in some hard times. Early America...where a blind man might a seen more trouble than y'all could ever imagine. So keep yourself busy. Ya got plenty a toys and things to entertain yourself. Laptops, phones, mp3 players. Video games. Just keep your mind occupied while you work at something. That's exactly what I did. And it worked out for me. If a blind man can make a living, then that's proof enough that America is a land of opportunity. So create your dream with the passion you were born with. Or whatever it is you need to do. And do it. Don't sit around talkin' about somethin' you aint done yet. Talk about somethin' ya already done did. But not for too long. Make somebody's ear fall off, if you talk too much about yourself. Just do the darn thing. Old Tommy did it. He ended up a guitar King...

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.

Shake Them Tea Baggers On Down

"When you see, you know, those of you that are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security," (Read more)

Obama said that about them "Tea Baggers" back in April. Still makes sense to me. They seem to be back again. Shakin' them Tea Bags around. As far as Health Care goes, I think The Prez is gonna have to Shake THEM on down...

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:
