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.

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.

Rain has stopped, sun is trying to peek out.

Rain has stopped. It's dark.

We are warming, but the ups and downs are still the norm. Fierce wind the last few days.

A lot like us but the wind. It's supposed to blow pretty hard tonight, but we haven't had much.

I only peeked the US weather map, but I did see that you're under a High and we still have the the *@@#%&*##@ Low we've been under since September.

Even the med that Doc gave to disable my permenant PND has pooped out.

Wilson looks very smug!

My father's cat "NiMH" looks like that, only lighter and kind of a bit of a wimp.
He'll hunt birds when not on the porch, but on the porch the birds can beat him up.

NiMH has a paw print shape on hios forehead, though all our efforts to get a good pic of it have been thwarted so far.
NiMH is lucky if he weighs in at ten pounds.

Wilson is definitely not a wimp. Dogs fear him, but he's the most lovable sweetheart with humans that a cat could be. I'm looking for another picture of him that shows that. He's a big baby with my older daughter.

They say that laughing helps make you healthier but if you laugh a lot, people think you're nuts. What's with that?

SEVEN STRANDED ON JETTY RESCUED BY COAST GUARD NEAR
OCEANSIDE, OREGON

SEATTLE - The Coast Guard rescued seven people
stranded on a jetty near Oceanside, Ore., today.

One of the people
called the Tillamook County, Ore., 911 dispatcher on his cell phone
requesting help after they were stranded by incoming tides.

The
dispatcher called Coast Guard Group/Air Station Astoria, Ore., to report
the seven on Three Arch Rock near Oceanside about 1:15 p.m.

An HH-60
Jayhawk helicopter from Group/Air Station Astoria was diverted and a
47-foot motor lifeboat from Coast Guard Station Tillamook, Ore., was
launched to assist.

The Jayhawk was able to hoist all seven and
transported them to Tillamook Airport. All seven were evaluated by
emergency medical technicians and released.

The Coast Guard reminds
beachgoers that incoming tides can isolate rocks from headlands and the
shore. You should be aware of tides and currents before venturing out on
or near the water.

Although jettys may seem safe, beachgoers can
quickly be swept off by incoming tides. Free tide tables are readily
available at state park offices, information centers and many shops and
motels.
