Ah, Tuesday, it’s such a lovely day. Seldom does Tuesday get much respect. People have football on Monday and they love to complain about it. They have Wednesday and the call it “hump day” and celebrate the fact that it is the middle of the week. On Thursday you have Must […]
Please understand that I understand that there are more blues musicans out there besides Buddy Guy. Just like I do understand that there are other jazz musicians out there besides Miles Davis. I just get into these moods. Right now, I am in the Buddy Guy mode when it comes to […]

This is, once again, from AllAboutJazz.com which is a great online magazine all about jazz (hence the name, I am gathering). […]
Well, it is a Monday morning and I am still in my Blues Training phase. I am loving it. The friend who created the blues CD for me certainly selected some great tunes. Of course, the first part of the CD was the Buddy Guy album “Sweet Tea” that I raved about […]
