I liked the Jon Gomm piece. I am not familiar with the blues except through incidental exposure, like movies.
When do people listen to the blues?
The music does make me feel more introspective and mellow.
Ok, I just decided. Friday after work it is supposed to be around 60 degrees and sunny. I have a steak from the grill on my mind. The drink will be Manhattans.
I’ll set the Pandora to the blues and see how it goes.

Oh, my.

Another universe may open for you. It’s not 100% certain, I do know people who aren’t moved by the blues. But I couldn’t stand to live without Robert Johnson, the Kings, Muddy Waters or any of a thousand others in my life.

Its a simple music, really, as simple as a heartbeat and as complex as a baby breathing.
