I
I have a collection of pictures of building's being demolished/razed that I page through to remind me of the ungraceful floppy- ness I managed to pull off as a reflection of my life of the last 60 years, especially marriages.....touring road Blue musicians like myself don't/never do/never did well, in those kind enviroments...marriage enviroments, in-laws, mowing the lawn, working 9 to 5 regular jobs for longer than a month , and stuff like it...we Blues musicians don't do well at those things and we do much better staying up all night playing in gin mills/pubs songs about misery and writing songs about how terrible those things Blues musicians are no good at if we are stuck doing them...stuff like marriage, real jobs you have to show up for, in-law navigation, that's what Blues guys are not good at.....reflecting on the misery of the common man or pining on nagging morose marriages or shitty jobs with shitty bosses with even shittier low pay,...these are the things Blues players are good at....rolling J's and farming, we can be good at that too and apply ourselves well to those kind of endeavors........re-string guitars, putting new tubes in a amp....farming frosty danky cannabis and then smoking it with enthusiasm....playing Texas style roadhouse rocking Blues, and whining through song and screaming guitar lics/riffs in songs about cheating girlfriends or money stealing women, slave driving bosses, playing Blues songs about how Bush and Republicans fucked the world and are still fucking it up from here in the States..... these are the things I do well at....but mostly I got disaster pictures of some sort of what I don't do well at in my personal scrapbook so I don't get inspired to try it again...
The Bluz Zen Dogma of the Bluzboy and pictures...here's a shot of my practice/rehearsal room where what I do well at is rehearsed...
