Reverend Recoil Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 What's your favorite blues line? I gots many, enjoy. "There's a pair of shoes on the floor... where mine should be A coat in the closet, that I know don't belong to me. A hat on the table, beside the bed A fifth of Old Taylor...almost dead Now before you say "Well that just can't be!" I'm telling you it can, 'cause it happened to me." "If you get yourself a little money Better buy all you can get Cause I ain't never seen a armored car Follow'n a funeral yet." "There's two kinds of music, the Blues and Zippity Do Da." --Dr. John "I have a hard time missing you baby With my pistol in your mouth You may be thinking about goin' North But your brains are staying South." "All these chicks get really rough, Callin' for whiskey and a dip of snuff In the night, In the night, In the wee, wee hours Between midnight and day " --Professor Longhair, In The Night Reverend Recoil A.K.A.

Reverend Recoil Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 It looks like nobody else here listens to the blues. "I sent my baby a brand new twenty-dollar bill.

Jimro Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I want to marry you. Isn't that what you want too? B.B. King "Riding with the King" is a great album. Jimro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaco Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Forgive me, I can be obscure- Here's the lyrics to "Don't Think Twice...." It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter, anyhow An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right Bob Dylan, of course. We're all, I think, victims of our historicity. Where we are in time. I remember a fairly attractive bar tender--she had nice legs--about twenty years younger than I telling me that the late departed Jim Morrison of the Doors was a poet. I beg to differ. Morrison couldn't write his way out of a paper bag. For me, any BB King, but sheesh, it was Clapton's "Bell Bottom Blues" that assuaged my pain in college when I split with that long legged blond. And this Bob Dylan song. Too much beer and too much volume. Blues kick. flaco Who's Robert Johnson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Recoil Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Who's Robert Johnson? !!! The greatest blues man that ever lived and the greatest blues man that ever got shot to death in a Chicago ally by a jealous lover. That's who.

Guest MorgansBoss Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Rev - been coming back to this thread for days now but there's just too many to pick a favorite, but I've learned that everyone likes The Blues, whether they realize it or not. The Blues has permeated every facet of music over the past 100 years. It's everywhere - as it should be. The Blues is not a music genre, it's an emotion, it's life it's self. Flaco - WHO'S ROBERT JOHNSON??????? Eh gads man! The black man in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou, was supposed to be a portrayal of Robert. The entire movie Crossroads (with Ralph Machio) was written around the legend of Robert Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
