~ The Canteen Music Dedication ~ (Saturday Night Jukebox) Welcome to all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families!! The Canteen Music Dedication has always been and will continue to be for you!! Thank you for joining us each week!! |
~ Music Dedication ~ Tribute To The Blues *We couldn't list everyone! So? Don't complain! The Canteen Deejays wish to dedicate this to Ms.Behavin, Mr.Behavin, mylife, acad1228, and all Blues Music Fans out there!! The Beginning Of The Blues - The Early Artists! (1920s and earlier artists) "Dirty Blues" *Some of the recordings are very old. We tried to find the best recordings from all the artists. Also, you'll find the women singers were just as fabulous if not more so than their male counterpart.
The Blues |
Born out of slavery and necessity, "The Blues" has transformed the musical landscape into one of the cornerstones of all popular American music enjoyed today. With it's roots deeply sowed on the plantations in the South, the rise of African Americans after the Civil War gave way to a musical genre that has captivated folks from around the world. In the beginning, it was merely a "holler" to field slaves to let them know that the slave master was coming. It was a way to protect and warn other slaves. From there, it became "store porch" entertainment for blacks in the South.
It's heritage was born of African slaves brought to America. It's roots are deeply Southern at it's core. However, it spans from the Delta (Mississippi), Texas, St. Louis, Memphis, and Chicago. To educate people about the true origins and beginning of the Blues, we've decided to take you on a musical journey from the beginning and progress from there. |
Delta Blues
Blues Tidbits |
Bukka White & BB King are cousins.Robert Lockwood was Robert Johnson's stepson at one point. Many of the artists that we are playing could fit into more than one category of The Blues. In fact, many of the Blues artist actually migrated elsewhere and recorded their albums in various parts of the country. Many of the Blues artist tend to have the same "nicknames". For example, "Red", "Magic", "Blind", "Slim", etc.... Many northerners were unaware of Blues music before it hit the radio. During WWI & WWII, they were introduced to Blues music from their Southern counterparts. Ironic they would have to travel to Europe in order to find out about music in their own country. Blind Blake and a few other Blues artists were never to be heard from again after they had "commercial" success in the black communities. The rumors still point to lynchings. Sonny Boy Williamson ( Chicago Blues) found out about Sonny Williamson II through "King Biscuit Time". "King Biscuit" was the black radio show that played all the current blues hits at that the time. Sonny Boy Williamson II's name is actually Rice Miller. |
Texas Blues
Harmonica Blues
"Play Some Blues, Chick" *In other words, this thread is already long! We're wrapping it up! Sorry we couldn't fit everyone! You'll probably recognize more artists here!

Greetings, FReepers, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!
Reporting LIVE! from the Orderly Room in sunny Camp Swampy, MS, its Day 139 of Sarge's Most Excellent Adventure! And oh, what a great day it's been for The Kids of The Company! This afternoon, we had a Promotion Formation! And Sarge was so proud to see some of his mates get some recognition of their work.
But best of all: Bobs made Sergeant today!
And of course, the "blood-rank" ceremony was indulged by all the NCO's to their newest members. And this mean, a few promotion parties are kicking off tonight!
Business goes on, for the rest of the gang, as our newcomers have to catch up to the training that the rest of us already completed. For most, it's weapons range tomorrow and Monday, which is fun for the gunners most of all.
Now, Sarge will be ducking out for chow, but he'll be in the area tonight for a bit, so Let's Have Fun!

As I headed for bed last night, I heard the weatherman say overnight rain will turn to sun by noon Saturday.
Indeed, when I arose, rain had stopped and the sky was brightening. When noon came, the sky opened up and rained so hard you couldn't see and it was deafening. It's been doing that off and on for the last five hours, literally washing away my yard and garden plans.
Our lawn has been snow-free for for about 3 weeks. Temperatures have been all over the place, can't seem to make up its mind. Are you warming up there?

That kind of thing ticks me off too! Is it a goner? Maybe, with some luck it will come back.
Last year, My husband's family came to visit. A lot of them. One of the kids was a real wise alec. He jumped in to a PeeGee Hydrangea I had for 3 years. It was gorgeous. Broke it so that it actually split. I had to dig it up. It's a good thing I didn't know about until after they left. :)

Watching all of it try to stuff itself under the bed is hysterical.
She hears the 'crack-boom' in the song, her eyes bug out, and she does this running charge towards the bed.
When she gets there, her hind legs scramble like mad, and her shoulders catch on the bed frame.

Coolbeans.
Bobs made Sarge!
And newbies in the group!
Ugh!
Usually the way it ran in my experience, the new newbies gravitated towards the guy they 'sensed' had the most knowledge and then picked his brain until he went nuts and sent them off for a box of grid squares or a tube of squelch grease.

Got to see it for real earlier, as there was some thunder.
AFTER she got done crawling under the bed, shivering, and crawling back out I asked her about it.
If a cat can look outraged at being ased a question, my cat looked downright insulted to her very fuzzy core.
I knew she could suck in her cheeks, but this time she had her ears back when she did it while bugging out her eyes.
