That’s how the GREATS learned the Blues.
My first band, back in the 70’s was a Blues band. One venue on Nantasket Beach looked just like a barroom on the outside, but as I was playing, this innocent Boston Girl noticed some strange activity on the dance floor.
It was a BROTHEL! OMG!
I guess that makes me an authentic Blues Woman, playing in Juke Joints and Bawdy Houses. I’ve even played Tent Revivals.
And that’s not even in the South! LOL!
Haha, what a great story!
Probably the funniest thing that happened to my son was when a Korean “Executive” showed up to ask him to sign up with the biggest studio there. I asked him how the interview went, and he replied, “Well, Dad, the Vice President wears fishnet stockings and high heels. I’m gonna pass.”
The boy learned! LOL
