Singin the Blues

On a mission from God
This movie is the best. If you are in a funk...put it on. If you want to laugh, put it on. If you want to see the greatest car chase scene known to man in cinematic history...PUT IT ON!
Had a conversation with a friend regarding singing the blues. I love the blues. And as much as I love to sing... this blonde blue-eyed girl really has no business singing the blues.
When I saw Dave "Honeyboy" Williams in Chicago...I was so awestruck. He is the last living link to Robert Johnson and the Crossroads. Amazing...80 something and still going on tour. I think the fun part was taking a friend that never heard the blues before to hear Honeyboy. She was blown away and now loves the blues.
You just feel the stuff in every part of your being...
Now here's some thoughts 'bout singing the blues.

Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Answer "Yes" if: a. your first name is a southern state—like Georgia b. you’re blind c. you shot a man in Memphis. d. you can’t be satisfied. e. you're older than dirt
Answer "No" if: a. you once were blind but now can see. b. you’re deaf c. the man in Memphis lived. d. you have a trust fund or an IRA.e . you have all your teeth f. you were once blind but now can see
Acceptable Blues beverages are: wine, whiskey, muddy water, beer, black coffee. Blues beverages are NOT: mixed drinks, kosher wine, sparkling water, Snapple, Starbucks Frappuccino, or Slim Fast. Although Rubber Biscuits and the Wish Sandwich are famous blues snacks, better stick to common blues grub like Greasy Bar-b-que, Fatback and beans, and Government cheeze. Blues food is never: Club sandwich, Sushi, or Crème brule.
The Build Your Own Blues Singer Name Starter Kit:
a. Name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, Asthmatic)
b. First name or name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi)
c. Last name of a U. S. president (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.)
Examples: Blind Lime Jefferson, Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Okay, maybe not "Kiwi"…)

Excellent names for female Blues singers: Sadie, Big Momma, Bessie, or Fat River Dumpling.
Excellent names for male Blues singers: Willie, Joe, Little Willie, Lightning, or Big Willie. Singers with names like Muffy, Sierra, Auburn, Alexis, Gwenyth, Sequoiz, Brittany or Rainbow are not permitted to sing the Blues, no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
