~ 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!

Rain has stopped, sun is trying to peek out. We are warming, but the ups and downs are still the norm. Fierce wind the last few days.

She's taking her afternoon nap. Her sister was here to spend a few hours...she had both knees done at once last year, and was here to provide encouragement and 'the voice of experience!'
Nana is a whole lot happier now about her progress. She was able to go outside for a short walk today...the fresh air felt wonderful to her. I think we're going to try to make that a daily thing, just to help her spirits stay up.
Sunday School families are bringing over dinners this weekend, and they're surprised when they see her...she looks great, she just has to be really slow and very careful when getting up or sitting down...she's walking with a walker just fine.

She also, oddly, doesn't meow.
She 'trills' and 'murrs' instead.
Or she 'briiiiecks' and does a trilling 'brrrrrrriiip?'.
Someone said that she may have som eManx in her lineage somewhere, as Manx do not meow, and tend to be somewhat heavy/chunky.
All I know is that my Kearen kitty is heavy and isn't losing weight which worries me.
(Vet says she's fine for being huge.)
I do have ot get video of her trying to hide.
It's quite hysterical.
