Blind Lemon Jefferson and Muddy Waters!

'Matchbox Blues' and 'Black Snake Moan' by the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson are two of the best wild livin' blues a soul could imagine. When I listened today to these genius renditions of blues giant tunes from the mid to late 1920s it surely helped out my kind of worn Tuesday mood. The strong man from Texas....yeah this Blind Lemon Jefferson....well he was a powerful man with a song. He could make the thing leap right up in your face. Good salty blues is a fantastic piece of our American culture. When you hear men like the fine Muddy Waters with his passion and Blind Lemon Jefferson with his super style then you know we have a good, feisty culture indeed!

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
