Prosetylizing The Blues:
Hello, Instead me of filling up your inbox
with my endless stream of blues e-missions and
annoying you the reader. I decided to use another
media format to keep a pulse on the local blues scene
here in the Puget Sound Area.
We encourage you the reader, the hopeless blues-A-holic,
the tormented harmornica player, the lonely blues-spouse,
the angry musician, the toothless trumpet player,
the ruthless promoter,the deaf & dumb blues photographrer
post your sad or inspirational blues tale or a picture of your tail.
Let the Foam in your mouth flow out onto the keyboard and
post your rants, raves, cravings, list you gigs, your gossip,
For Example a reader from Enumclaustra phobia wrote:

The Great Blues & Jazz Singer Lou Rawls passes on:
It with heart felt sadness that I post this news. The incomparable
Blues, Jazz, Pop & Gospel Singer
Low Rawls passed on Today in Los Angeles.
One of my first exposures to the blues was back in 1965 and my mom had this Lou Rawls Album on Capital Records. It had this killer version of "Tobacco Road" and at the time the only band I had ever heard playing that song was "The Blues Magoos" So from that moment on I became aware of the blues and thought of it as a American music form with it roots deeply entrenched in Black American History. In my book Low Rawls was a musical pioneer in main streaming Black America's Heritage and making it part of all American's Heritage. God Bless him.
Below is a Post Fom AP Newswire:
LOS ANGELES Jan 6, 2006 — Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced singer who started as a church choir boy and went on to sell more than 40 million albums has died, his publicist said. He won three Grammy Awards in a career that spanned nearly five decades and a range of genres. He was 72.
Rawls died early Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was hospitalized last month for treatment of lung and brain cancer, his publicist Paul Shefrin said. His wife Nina was at his bedside when he died, Shefrin said.
The family and Shefrin said Rawls was 72, although other records indicate he was 70.
Rawls' voice was his inimitable trademark.
Jazz historian Leonard Feather wrote in "The Encyclopedia of Jazz in the Sixties" that Rawls "has a vigorous, confident style, a strong affinity for the blues and a personal sound."
"I've gone the full spectrum, from gospel to blues to jazz to soul to pop," Rawls once said on his Web site. "And the public has accepted what I've done through it all."
Rawls' grandmother introduced him to gospel in his hometown of Chicago. The singer moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1950s to join a touring gospel group, the Pilgrim Travelers.
After a two-year stint in the Army, Rawls returned to Los Angeles and rejoined the Pilgrim Travelers, where he sang with Sam Cooke. Rawls performed with Dick Clark at the Hollywood Bowl in 1959, and two years later, he opened for The Beatles at Crosley Field in Cincinnati.
Rawls was playing small blues and R&B clubs in Los Angeles when his four-octave range caught the ear of a Capitol Records producer, who signed him to the label in 1962.
His debut effort, "Stormy Monday," recorded with the Les McCann Trio, was the first of 28 albums Rawls made with Capitol.
His 1966 hit, "Love Is a Hurtin' Thing," topped the charts and earned Rawls his first two Grammy nominations. He received 13 during his career.
Rawls, whose hits included "Dead End Street" and "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine," released his most recent album, "Seasons 4 U," in 1998 on his own label, Rawls & Brokaw Records.
