~ 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.

"Play Some Blues, Chick"
*In other words, this thread is already long!

One Upsmanship ~ Joke~ 
Three Women - One German, One Japanese And A Hillbilly - Were Sitting Naked In A Sauna.
Suddenly There Was A Beeping Sound. The German Pressed Her Forearm And The Beep Stopped. The Others Looked At Her Questioningly. "that Was My Pager," She Said. "i Have A Microchip Under The Skin Of My Arm."
A Few Minutes Later, A Phone Rang. The Japanese Women Lifted Her Palm To Her Ear. When She Finished, She Explained, "that Was My Mobile Phone, I Have A Microchip In My Hand."
The Hillbilly Woman Felt Decidedly Low Tech. Not To Be Outdone, She Decided She Had To Do Something Just As Impressive. She Stepped Out Of The Sauna And Went To The Bathroom. She Returned With A Piece Of Toilet Paper Hanging From Her Behind. The Others Raised Their Eyebrows And Stared At Her.
The Hillbilly Woman Finally Said, "well, Will You Look At That. I'm Gettin' A Fax."

Well, it's just that I know how busy you are and that much stomping would take up a lot of your time! LOL!!!!
To: MoJo2001; MS.BEHAVIN

Evening,Kathy!
Great tunes!
Thanks!
To: MeekOneGOP
I call the pager my "electronic leash" same thing, different tune!
To: SouthernHawk
I'm not really busy. Slackers can never be busy. To be busy is to imply that you're doing something you shouldn't be. We wouldn't want to tarnish my rep ya know. LOL!
