Hello fellow Blues enthusiasts...(All two of us)... Roll Eyes

...

...!

Here's an interesting site, in that it is full of Bessie's songs in Realplayer/Mediaplayer Format for instant (FREE!) playing... Grin

...!

Not everyone's cup of tea, but as a Hammond Organ and acoustic guitar player I love accompanying her as she growls at me, relating all the trials and tribulations of the life of Slaves in the Southern States... 8)... Grin

...!

...a blast from the past...

Fantabulous... Wink

...!

Pablo...Hammond draw-bar setting...688600000... Wink

This is a great find "Pablo" Wink

, but I can't listen to any of them. Windows Media Player won't read the files...

I'd have that cup o' tea anyday Sir, I love Bessie Smith. She was one of the major influences of my favorate Blues women, Janis Joplin.

The only time I like to hear people complain is when they sing about them in the Blues.

Hi Sock... Grin

...!

There you go....I knew there was at least two of us who are Blues enthusiasts... Wink

...

...!

Sock....Download, and try RealPlayer.... Wink

...!

Some music programs seem to prefer Realplayer instead of Windows MediaPlayer.

When you have BOTH programs on your 'puter, you can Right Click on the file and Open them with either selected player... 8)...!

(For most of my music files, I select MediaPlayer as my Default player).

Have a go, Sock, you will enjoy "Bessie's Blues"... Wink

...

....Trust me... Grin

...!

Cheers Mate...

"Pablo"... Wink

...!
LOL...!

P.S. Make sure you have ALL the boxes ticked in Player "File Types"...

...!

"Ah woke up this morning, oh yeh woke up this morning, mama.
Woke up this morning, yeh woke up this morning mama,
Ah woke up this morning -
'Cos I went to sleep last night..."

Now that's what I call a twelve-bar blues, Pablo my son.

...no mention of the fact that your dog has just died, and your Missus has run off with the Mayor, and the toilet bucket has a hole in it, and the arse is out of your trousers, and your hair is falling out, and that cough you've got is getting worse, and......and....and.... Cry

Now THAT'S what I call the 12-bar blues.... Wink

Wow! You can get all that in a twelve-bar blues?! Wagner had enough trouble with a plot that size in a five-hour opera!
