You know, songs like: "Communication Breakdown", "What Goes On", "Pinball Wizard", "I Wanna Be Your Dog". "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "The Wicked Messenger."

...that's why I was always a fan of blues music.

We went to hear Ben E. King at the Lummi casino on Saturday night. I took my husband’s 45 of Spanish Harlem for him to autograph. He couldn’t believe it, when he saw it.

My husband loved that record, practically wore it out.

What I’m really enjoying lately is the Louisiana swamp blues sound from the Excello label in the mid-50s. Lightning Slim, Lazy Lester, Slim Harpo, Lonesome Sundown. Just great stuff - lean guitar work, mournful, spacious sound and tight harp solos.
