I can see the AAB thing with regard to blues, that's as far as I can go. I keep telling my husband "I'm just not mechanical" - that covers a lot of ground! <BR/><BR/>It appears the blues has evolved almost out of recognition, from the old "My dog died and my wife left" format! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I liked most of what I heard on Saturday evening, but when I'm feeling melancholy, I don't think the blues will ever take the place of Sinatra in my heart.

The blues still permeates almost every form of modern music and great artists like Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler are great blues players. "Yes gotta be black ter play the blues" may have been true once, but not for many years.<BR/>Some of the old Fleetwood Mac recordings with Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer are terrific blues gems. I doubt there's any rock band that came out of the sixties that didn't start off playing twelve bar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
