OK, for the novice that's curious about some blues, where or with who would I start?
Well, first of all, piss your woman off so she leaves you. Then, don't feed your dog, so he dies. Get a big stick and knock a few roof tiles off so the rain comes in. Oh, and keep waking up each morning. Duh-Duuuh Du-DUH
Curious in what way? Do you want to play it, sing it, listen to it, feel it or swallow it? If listening, you've still got a fairly [1] wide range: Do you want 'old time' acoustic blues like Robert Johnson (May I recomend Keb Mo) John Lee Hooker etc. Then there's B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins etc for electric blues. Don't forget Stevie Ray Vaughn for some Texas Blues Or do you want blues/rock, like Gary Moore (not all of his material by a long way). Perhaps you should watch 'The Blues Brothers' [2] and start from there [1] misspelled 'very' [2] one of my top 3 films. -- John SV650 Black it is and naked
"Sorby" replied to "Donegal Paul" who wrote Didnt work last time Hes fucking immortal, the amount of times hes looked like hes going to croak and next morning hes fine. 2 tiles been missing off the roof for a year now, no rain though See dog above
Donegal Paul fascinated us all by saying... First, get the missus to leave, then watch your dog being run over. Put your children on the game and start taking drugs, then write a song about it. That's usually a good start. -- Lozzo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS BOTAFOT#57/70a, BOTAFOF#57, two#49, MIB#22, TCP#7, BONY#9, ANORAK#9, DIAABTCOD#14, UKRMT5BB, IBW#013, MIRTTH#15a/16, BotToS#8, GP#2, SBS#10, SH#3.

Listen, perhaps thinking of learning to play harmonica. Perhaps, not sure how that sounds blues. BB King, I love some of his stuff. Probably one of my top films too along with Alien and Christine

"Spida" "Donegal Paul" Christ, month one more like. Me thinks I shall have to acquire a blues compilation CD as suggested further on in the thread and go from there.
"Timo Geusch"replied to Donegal Paul was seen penning the following ode to .... whatever: Thanks again everyone, theres plenty there to keep me going for a lifetime, Ill look into the Alligator label Timo, Cheers
"Daniel the Manual" said to "Donegal Paul" God no, you cant beat the internet for that, the stuff in the shops is shit
"Timo @ work" said to "Donegal Paul" Nope for two reasons a) I think I would shit myself silly b) Gotta do some family time to make up for getting to the EOSM
Craigers wibbled incoherently: onegal Paul inquisitively implored of one and all: ::OK, for the novice that's curious about some blues, where or with who would ::I start? : :These are pretty good shows produced by my local Pacifica affiliate - if :you don't mind streaming on RealPlayer. : : Rhapsody in Black W, 10:30 PM - Midnight : Blues Power TH, 10:30 PM - Midnight : :Also, there is a eight hour time difference (PST).
