Today’s Music to keep me SsSSsaaaAAnnnnnEEee in Isolation – Bessie Smith
There’s something about Bessie that moves me.
Today’s Music to keep me SsSSSAAaaAAnnNNeeee in Isolation – Sonny Boy Williamson
One of the great Blues singers and harp players. A real showman.
Today’s Music to Keep me SssSSAaaaNNNnnNeEEEe in Isolation – Son House
I just fancied a slice of Delta Blues today. What better than the legendary Son House??
I was lucky enough to see him play – mind blowing.
Today’s Music to Keep me SsSSsSSaaAaaAANnnNNNEeEEe – Cedell Davis
His severe disablement resulted in him using a butter knife to play with a totally different style to any other guitarist. Incredibly unique. He was inspiring. At first it sounds atonal and weird but your ear tunes in.
Today’s Music to keep me SsSSsaAaaaANnnnNEEeEe in Isolation – Junior Kimbrough – You Better Run
Well, it’s Christmas!! We’ve got a couple of our kids here so we’re not exactly isolated!!
I thought I needed something appropriate, festive and uplifting!!
This is something that cuts through the fake Christian crap and consumerism that Christmas has become. More authentic.
Love the rhythms.
New Orleans – Land of Music
New Orleans is a magic melting pot of cultures spawning a unique sound. Zydeco clashes with Blues and Country. Jazz incorporates Cajun. The sounds are brilliant.











Today’s Music To Keep me SssSSsAaaaAANNnnnNEeee in Isolation – Skip James
I was lucky enough to see Skip James play shortly before he died. I feel privileged. These delta blues guys were the start of a lot of things. Skip’s falsetto voice and guitar playing are so moving.
I’ll play some Skip today and think back.
