Here are some songs from this afternoon. Walter
time to stop pushing and enjoy
shed a tear for the journey
beating the swiming upstream blues
do you ever think about when your music will end
gwendolyn was her name
feet keep a movin direction unknown

the worlds hard times we can end

In the first, there's the word "end" as well in the second.
In the third, we find the happy word "death".
Walter, try to make a music on these words:
"As I played today I realized all my dreams have come to true. Keep following your dreams!"
If you want to be cheered up, I can tell you lots of hilarious jokes...

Did you find your "buddy Guy" Van Eesbeeck?

laurent2015: You have a good sense of humor. I occasionally email with Guy but not in the past few years. I need to send him a note-thanks! I am use to people telling me my music is too blue. I sing about the sadness passes through my heart and I feel better when I am done. Hell, I thought that what the blues was about. Our culture is so dysfunctional. Just look at the divorce rate, denial of death, addiction, workaholics, crime, poverty, teen preganacy, trying to stay eternally young looking with plastic surgeries/teeth whitening/fake tans/hair implants'hair coloring/etc, denial of ones feelings, therapy is not for me, stay angry instead of facing ones sadness and healing............. It is sad to see the shape most people are in. Bad health, bad eating habits, suppressed emotions, fear of love. This stuff all goes through me and I sing about it. It is the world I see everyday and parents teach their children to continue through the dysfunction they model via their lives.
Believe it or not I am a fairly happy person due in fact that I sing about the down stuff. There are several people on this board that have met me in the flesh and we have had very positive conversations. Most players today sugarcoat everything into nicey nice BS jive crap that turns me off immediately regardless of how good they play.
Todays blues should be called- the politically correct, offend no one, smile all the time, please everyone like me, I will do what you want to hear, be a monkey on a chain blues. I have a good sense of humor too, so don't take that stuff too seriously but to be frank, it is what I see on the scene. In general it has been that way since I started. Most view it as entertainment and that means don't dig down into any real serious stuff. Sugar coat the controversial/down topics and always make the hook a happy one or not too serious. Louisiana Red and I connected on the get to the root and let it hang out vibe. I haven't met too many others that do that. Walter

You ever think of submitting some of this stuff as poetry? There's lots of poetry rags around.

OK you put my mind at rest.
I can't neither imagine a blues ending into giggles.
Moreover, I liked your "had no money to buy a hot-dog" (not sure to understand the whole lyrics) and still work -from time to time- making harp stuff on it.
The best for you.
Edit, following your changes:
I agree with you about those bad things, bad conditions, bad minds, bad...bad...
I'm afraid the list is endless.
Are good things so endless? (snurf) I doubt.

David: Thanks for that idea but I have yet to be motivated to submitt anything because I would have to go back and transcribe the songs to print. That is not at all interesting much like repeating one of my songs. I struggle with taking the time to burn my songs to cd so I can clear the hard drive on my computer. It gets full regularly. It is boring as hell to do and if I was rich I would just keep buying new computers that were preloaded with my recording software templates so as not to waste time on that end and when I die there would be a warehouse full of computers full of my songs that would be burned with me at my funeral service so that no intellectual musicologist could tell the world just how I felt, lived, and should be percieved. It would be a heck of a bonfire!
I fall in between all the roots generes, poetry, performance art. that is what I have been told over the years by industry people in these various areas.
Laurent2015: I will have to listen to that song. I can't remember it. Most likely the lyrics may not make sense :-). Walter
I listened to it. It is about a guy that doesn't fit in and finds alcohol makes him feel more at ease with the scene but it takes him over and he ends up a hopeless, homeless, addict. He wants to love a woman but will never due to the lifestyle of deep addiction. No sugar coated ending :-)

Yes I had digged there was a deep dark atmosphere
in it.
That's why I'm using my A Hering Black Blues to play.

Walter, you wouldn't need new computers. You could get one of those terabyte external hard drives which plug into a USB port and just copy keepers onto it. Oughta last till sometime mid-century. See ya then, if not before.

Now, a monkey on a chain, he or she (I do think there are girl monkeys, although I wouldn't slap her) would have the blues, no doubt.

lor: I might look into that. I wonder approx how many 4 minute wave file songs they can hold and I wonder how stable they are over time? Now I burn them onto cds and have quite a collection of those 100 cd spindles full of music. I always cringe when I see musicians doing that routine.......
laurant2015: I haven't ried one of those harps. Walter
