Bad news Blues
March 4th, 2008For everyone who has been left stranded when their concert was canceled tonight, we thought we’d give you a show of our own; the video above is of Bessie Smith performing the “St. Louis Blues“. This clip is from a 1929 film of the same name (ironically filmed in Queens, New York City) is the only known footage of the late Bessie Smith, who would eventually have her life taken by the Blues Highway, in a tragic car accident and subsequent mistreatment on US Highway 61.
If you’re not in the mood for that epic recording, we offer this classic music of the Dave Brubeck Quartet performing their rendition of the “St. Louis Blues“. It may not be as hip, but you can’t deny that the sounds of that critically-acclaimed jazz group will ironically cheer you up.

I just love the names of these blues musicians. They always sound cool.

Fascinating how you believe on the subject of %BLOGTITLE%. brbr The thing i personally would imagine is when you are going to get it done such as this you will need willing to perform the trouble. brbr And of course this will not be frequent since individuals are terribly laid back today.

I have got to tell you that I must concur with you with regards to your blog about %BLOGTITLE%.

Continue the superb work and My husband and i will go on visiting along with the various other satisfied website visitors right here.
