WRITTEN FOR THE STILL SUFFERING BLUES-A-HOLIC
& THE BASS PLAYER THAT KEEPS HITTING BOTTOM
THE BLUES JAMMERS SERENITY PRAYER:
GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO LEARN THE CHANGES
I CAN NOT PLAY AND THE COURAGE TO PLAY THE CHANGES I CAN
AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW WHEN NOT TO SIT IN
THE TWELVE STEPS OF B.A.
1. WE ADMITTED THAT WE WERE POWERLESS OVER THE BLUES AND OUR LIVES BECAME UNMANAGEABLE.
2. WE CAME TO BELIEVE THAT A SHUFFLE IN "E" GREATER THAN NATIONAL BLUES ACTS COULD RESTORE US FROM REDUNDANCY.
3 WE MADE A DESCISION TO TURN OUR WILL & OUR LIVES TO CARE OF THE BLUES SOCIETY.
4. WE MADE A BEER-LESS AND PAINFUL SEARCH OF ALL OUR LOCAL BLUES COMPACTS DISC'S
5. WE WERE ADMITTED TO A BLUES SOCIETY SPONSORED FUNCTION WITHOUT EVER PAYING
THE COVER.
6. WE WERE ENTIRELY READY TO HAVE ANOTHER HARMONICA BLOW OFF FOR THE
NEXT TWENTY YEARS.
7. HUMBLY ASKED OUR PRESIDENT WHICH CLUBS WE SHOULD GO TO AND NOT SMOKE OR SPEND ANY MONEY AT THES VENUES.
8. MADE A LISTOF ALL BLUES BANDS IN TOWN AND PROMOTED THE ONES WHO SMOOZED US THE MOST.
9. MADE DIRECT DEPOSITS TO OUR BANK ACOUNTS WHEN EVER A BAND WANTED US TO VOTE FOR THEM
10. COUNTINUED TO WRITE LAME EDITORIALS ABOUT HOW GOOD SOME JOE BLOW BAND IS DOING
AND WHEN WE WERE WRONG PROMPTLY DENIED IT.
11. SUFFERED THROUGH SLOW BLUES BALLADS IN "G" AND ENDLESS BORING HARMONICA SOLO'S IN EFFORT
TO GAIN SOCIAL STATUS.
12. HAVING HAD A RUDE AWAKENING AS THE RESULT OF POOR NEW MEMBERSHIP SIGN UPS, ALIENATION FROM THE NEW GENERATION OF MUSIC FANS AND MUSCIANS WITH OPEN MINDS; ARE CURRENT ARCHAIC MEMBERSHIP ROLLS WILL DIE OUT QUICKLY FROM BLUESHEIMER'S DISEASE & PTBSD (POST TRAUMATIC BLUES STRESS DISORDER).
HAVE A GOOD DAY AND
KEEP SUFFERRING WITH THE BLUES

Hey MX
Who's MX?
I went to post a comment re "Blues-a-holics Anonymous B.A." and send it to my friend's email address in Niagara Falls instead - oops!
Anyway, all I said was that you are nuts, just like me (haha)! 'had a much-needed giggle over that column.
Misty Blue, Redqueen17, D.D. Rocker, etc., etc...
Thanks for your Post!
Ms.Wella Balsum.
How are the Blues in Hamilton,
Ontario. Mx is a friend of mine.
She is Seattle's Finest and
Fairest Chanteuse of the Blues.
Can you guess who she is?
Perhaps you could Post
what you predict will
be the next big thing,
person or event in the
World Blues Community.
IBM for instance(my prediction) The International Blues Machine.
A blues-micro-processor that
can play the world's fastest and
longest shuffle. A feat only
achieved before once in recorded
history by the ISB "ISAAC SCOTT BAND"
Keep on "Rocking the Blues
in Canada" cause you live up
to that Handle "ROCKSWELL"
Snap Crackle Pop and Cherios!!

Yes Mx,
It wonderful to have you aboard!
I look foward to hearing more
about your activities. How is life and the Blues in Everett. There is a street there called Wetmore Ave. You don't live'there do you ? I just love that name. Can I crown you with that name. Crown Princess Wetmore "Supreme Blues Chanteuse"
Welcome Mx or is it CPWSBC!

I'm not really all that familiar with a lot of female Seattle vocalists... Laurie, Nicole, Alice, Annie, Charlene, Duffy, Dana... hmmm... I ain't gonna touch that one with a 10-foot pole. Someone's bound to get offended... so I'll choose Portland's Sheila Wilcoxson - I love that song, "Louie" (Mr. Highpockets).
Tanks for the compliments!
P.S. You are a seriously funny guy - I can't wait to see who you are going to harpoon next!
