Keith Taylor Sings
2008-07-19 12:54:00
I was standing in the line at the pawn shop today trying to pay some bills and looked up on the wall to see a poster of Keith Taylor with a caption that said something to the effect of "if it ain't been in the pawn shop, then it can't play the blues" :)Click the title link for a sampling of Keith Taylor. Be sure to check out the rhythm and blues section. Makes me want to move to Texas....

So today I'm checking out Prin's Blues Page in the search engines. You know just to see how she's doing. Imagine my surprise when I found she was mentioned by Jefferson Blues Magazine...a Swedish magazine! So you know this got my curiosity going and I just had to go check it out. Pretty cool! The links took me on a journey that may take weeks from which to return. The next adventure from the magaz


Houston, We Have Sound!

Had to remove and re-install all drivers having to do with video and sound which made for a very frustrating 24 hours but it worked and Prin's Blues Page now has sound and video with Firefox 3! I'm happy now :)

*Edit* Y'all must've thought I had lost my mind and perhaps I did momentarily...The Mary Mary video is up now :)The first time I heard these two songs I almost broke down driving down the road on the way to work :) The version I heard of To Close To The Mirror was by Eddie Ruth Bradford and I can't find it anywhere to share it with you, but I did find SoSoBlessed's version and I have to say she do

2008-06-20 09:13:00
Y'all should know by know that I can't go very long without a blues day :)I can not believe this but I just discovered Norma Jean Bruso! Found her over at Cahl's Juke Joint: A rock, blues and jazz blog. "To say that Bruso has a big voice is an understatement. In the album's liner notes, Koko Taylor says Bruso sounds just like she did when Taylor was young. That's not far off."Here you go:Can't Sha

2008-06-20 09:03:00
Lately, I've been thinking about my life...how I got to this point, why I always took the hard road, where I'm going from here, etc. I'm questioning whether or not I am ever going to be a social worker and if so, if I will be a good one. If not, what then? I came across a YouTube video tonight that about explains where I'm at right now, but it also brought up a great childhood memory. The very fir

Stevie Ray Vaughn
2008-08-10 09:07:00
Bernie Mac's untimely death got me to thinking about a lot of things, mostly about how much he will be missed and all the laughter he brought to the world. Then I started thinking about others that have died before their time and of coarse I thought of Stevie Ray Vaughan. So I thought I'd share some of Stevie Ray 's best IMHO.Stevie Ray and Albert King--Stormy MondayStevie Ray with George Thorogood
