How to sing the blues

[Sigma986]

Thanks, Juro!

Now we'll see how many years before I can set it to music.

Incidentally, anyone else who wants to write the score for it is welcome to contribute!

It probably needs some editing to ensure the syllable counts for the lines make sense.

This is old, been passed around for years... but for some folks it's new and it's funny as all get out (that's the Missourian in me coming out. Sorry, I was born there.)<snip>

Growing up in rural Missouri where American outlaw Jesse James (1847–1882) had lived ...

I need to stay off this forum, for no matter what I say, I seem to always raise controversy. Maybe it's best if I just stick to the lessons, instead of professing to be a teacher of life's lessons.

I have enough work to do to just become an average player of the art form I love so much !  :-/

First time i;ve seen this but i don't surf the net much. 
It would be quite a challenge to write a song with everything in it.

Thanks for all the suggestions for writing a blues song.  I wrote one and it went over very badly at open mic night.  It was about what a rotten day I had. There was no wind so I was stuck in my sailboat 2 miles from the yacht club.  When I finally got back to the parking lot my BMW got dented.  Then when I got home I realized the cleaning lady never showed up. I called it the 1% blues.  Where do you think I went wrong?

Little too much fat on that tune.  Shoot for the fat-free blues next time.

That's too funny! Blues over no wind, a dented BMW and the cleaning lady?  ;D I wonder what "Willie Blind Dog Fulton" would say about that, Long Island Bluesman?

Wow the Diesel must have been down too. I think If you could have added that into the song the audience would have really gone for it. I know I would ...

That was great Griff I had to save that one.

First time I've seen this...Funny stuff.

This one really cracked me up.

"18. Persons with names like Sierra, Sequoia, Auburn, and Rainbow can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis."

         Read this post for the 1st. time today ... strange how I picked this one that grabbed me as the funniest and I see STRATO picked it also ... I honestly miss his posts

Classic piece. But not "Classical" 'cause there ain't no way a piccolo player's gonna have the blues. Depression followed by $5 'white wine' maybe.

The running gag in my family is that when my grandfather started to sing, the chicken in the neighborhood died.
Should I therefore not sing the blues at all or does this on the contrary qualify me to have and sing the blues?
Something like that:
When I woke up this mornin'
I hear my grandpa sing,
saw the chicken were all moanin'
To their lives they cling

 

[sequira]

That's hilarious. Guess I'll have to hide when I sing the blues. With my voice I oughta do that anyway!

That was a great read LOL, thank you!
