Howdy, Blues fans! It’s been a few, so apologies for not keeping y’all in the loop. The holidays are upon us and I trust you are filling this wonderful time with some Mississippi Delta Blues! Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like the intro riff to Terraplane Blues or the hustle riff of Bukka White’s Fixin’ To Die. I also hope you’ve added some of my EP, Hard Times, to your holiday mix. If not, you can still purchase a CD and download on my MUSIC page.
Keep your loved ones close, people. My life as a blues musician is a lonely one, so for those of you who have family around this year, cherish them regardless. Share some blues music with your younger kin and keep the precious torch burning. Hug your brother-in-law and make nicey. Don’t forget the blues came from a place of hurt. Do what you can to make the blues come from a place of peace and joy.
Until next time, my friends, take care and go see a local blues artist. Buy a CD. Put some money in the tip jar. LIKE a post. Support independent blues music.
Peace!
-J
