Good morning, bannork & tutsi.  Up early, eh?  Both of you got kicked outta bed?    (I did  )

 

 

Another J. Geils tune, this time an Albert Collins number.

The Climax Chicago Blues Band . . . not out of Chicago but Stafford, England.  Their eponymous 1969 debut was an excellent LP.

 

 

 

nice stuff...this is what Mike Bloomfield excelled at, after a few blues music bars the joint was jumpin'...best in a small club venue, not suited to 'stadium rock'...

 

I useta love them small smoky dives and the atmosphere and the music...now all gone like the dinosaurs, no smoking in a blues club???? just goin' to them places all pumped up with shit (dope of any kind) and tossin' down the alcohol youse already on that bleak highway that any smoking tobacco prohibition could not subdue...

Lots of blues bars in Chicago then and now (and probably forevea).  Used to go to the Kingston Mines, Wise Fool's Pub, Biddy Mulligan’s, B.L.U.E.S. Club, etc. in the 70's.  All the great blues players were active on the scene . . . John Lee Hooker, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Mack, Honeyboy Edwards, and so many great unknowns.

 

Koko Taylor with James Cotton doing Evil.  Saw her live in one of those smokey clubs you mentioned.  Man, she could belt out the songs.  Know as the Queen of the Blues in Chi-town.

this man was the master of the small blues club...a showman he'd wander thru the audience with his telecaster (on a long lead) and he'd burn the place down...

 

ah, them were the days...

 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

David "Honeyboy" Edwards on How Long.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Sunnyland Slim in '69 with Willie Dixon on bass, Everytime I Get To Drinkin'.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Clapton & John McVie on bass on Hideaway in '66.

hey man...I haven't been to bed yet and all this foolishness has caused me to run outta ciggies...and I have just returned from the corner shop there to see the 30 y.o chinese mistress with the morning sunlight in her hair carrying some goods looking like something from Vermeer...she is a favorite local item and I'm nearly 40 years older but it's nice to know that she knows of my admiration of her and the associated frisson...

 

I'm not usually awake this time of the day...a variation to one's routine is salutary I hear...

my first guitar cost $30 back in 1963 and an adult female relative became infuriated with me and grabbed it and came at me with it like a club to bash my brains out...my brains survived but the guitar didn't...

 

smashing guitars has a special significance for poor old tutsiwarrior...since then I have gifted guitars on numerous occasions when gettin' ready to travel and the guitar got in the way...there shall be a special place in guitar heaven for 'ol tutsi when the time comes; what goes around comes around...

Very nice selections, jvs, especially the first one.  Couldn't get the 2nd one to play, though.  Perhaps post a different video of the same song?  That usually works for me when I find a song that's unavailable from a particular YT account.

 

First time I heard these bands.  They'll make a nice addition to my collection.  

[Tippaporn]

Checking out Cuby and the Blizzards and found this gem from '72.

I got up early, indulged in some of 'this foolishness', and then went to work for 4 hours.

  I gather the theme of the weekend is de blues so here's Freddie strutting his stuff.

My work is all done on the computer.  I really have to control myself and thought I'd post j-u-s-t a f-e-w before putting my nose to the grindstone.  But tutsi was up and replied soon after and we had a bit of back and forth and the hours unwittingly passed and, well, yeah, it's his fault I got a late start which then severely dented my drive for the rest of the day.    All's forgiven, though, since he posted some quality stuff.  

 

Yeah, hard to get away from de blues since so much of rock is blues based.  No complaints from me, though . . . 

 

Muddy Waters and Mannish Boy.  What can you say . . . 

 

 

[NonthaburiBear]

Beautiful Dalida

 

[jvs]

here he is again.

[bannork]

I can't work out if tutsi is a lecherous romantic or a romantic lecher. Whatever, he should put his stories together and write a book. But he won't take my advice, he's too busy, lusting after the shopkeeper, bus conductor, village headman's daughter, first year university student, lottery seller, etc.

Nothing speaks more of a man's health, bannork!    True, he should write a book.  Might be banned in Thailand, you think?

look out! I'm trine to sleep over here...

 

SONNET 148

O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight!
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's 'No.'
How can it? O, how can Love's eye be true,
That is so vex'd with watching and with tears? 
No marvel then, though I mistake my view;
The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.
   O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind,
   Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.

_________

 

but I have found my true love and she runs a convenience store in a small rural town in Ha Tinh province in Viet Nam...but I have not yet declared my love as she is nearly 40 years younger and happily married with 2 small children but we like to put our hands on each other in a semi playful manner...we've been circling each other for the past 7 years each waiting for the other to make the first move...

 

('give up what ye got right now bitch as yer driving me crazy...' and she smiles tenderly and demurely: 'yes, this much I know...'  vietnamese women ain't the same as other asians)

 

'Give up what ye got' by tutsi and the warriors...on release soon...

Sounds like true love, tutsi.  Your breaking my heart with this weeping tale . . . 

Makes me want to drink to forget your sorrows . . .  

Sonnet 116

     Let me not to the marriage of true minds 

Admit impediments. Love is not love 

Which alters when it alteration finds, 

Or bends with the remover to remove. 

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark 

That looks on tempests and is never shaken; 

It is the star to every wand'ring bark, 

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. 

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 

Within his bending sickle's compass come; 

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 

But bears it out even to the edge of doom. 

If this be error and upon me prov'd, 

I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

A dedication song . . .

Maybe we need to change the theme this weekend from 'de blues' to . . . 

 

No intro needed . . . 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Beautiful, ageless tune . . .
