When my Dad was in hospice I gave him a tennis ball to take with him for Shadow. It is very comforting to know they are among friends.

It is amazing to me how many artists record the same songs.

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...I’m hoping things will start to look up with my Mom. Her not being able to get around by herself has been really rough the last couple weeks, but yesterday we got an electric wheelchair. Hope it will be delivered soon. They will call me Monday.

Hope all is well with you and Bo. Enjoy your Saturday.

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

Thanks so much for the update on your Mom. I’m keeping her and you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, she’ll get back on her feet again soon.

I imagine Alaska must suffer greatly with potholes, as the pavement expands and contracts with temperature extremes!

Boston’s potholes are LEGENDARY!

That's been kind of the point of these last 3 weekends for me Ma, to show the diversity and evolution of the Blues. Some songs evolved from the Delta to hardly resemble Blues at all, which in due course became Rhythm & Blues (like "CC Rider") and others that became Rock, Country ("Midnight Rider") and Soul ("I've Been Loving You Too Long") Standards.

Today, I'll feature several songs with multiple versions, like T- Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday" and the Gershwin/Gershwin/Heyward tune "Summertime" (which is purported to have over 25,000 recorded cover versions).

"Summertime" is an aria from the 1935 opera "Porgy and Bess" and was intended as a spiritual in the style of the African American folk music. "Summertime" is often considered an adaptation of the Negro spiritual "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child", which ended the play version of "Porgy". Alternatively, the song has been proposed as an amalgamation of that spiritual and the Ukrainian Yiddish lullaby "Pipi-pipipee". The Ukrainian-Canadian composer and singer Alexis Kochan has suggested that some part of Gershwin's inspiration may have come from having heard the Ukrainian lullaby, "Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon" (A Dream Passes By The Windows) at a New York City performance by Oleksander Koshetz's Ukrainian National Chorus in 1926.

Whatever it's origin, as a ballad it has became a Jazz standard and a Blues Icon. Based on a pentatonic scale (C-D-E-G-A) in the context of the A minor tonality, it's slow-moving harmonic progression is most definitely Blues, embraced by the greatest artists of all genres. Billie Holiday's 1936 recording was the first to hit the US pop charts, reaching number 12, and Lady Day was most definitely all about the Blues.
