EVERYONE MUST VOTE!

Sorry to go radio silent. I've been in Nevada helping the Obama campaign. I got so afraid this country may remain in the dark ages, I participated in my first election. After spending a lot of time listening and watching, I'm sure of my choice of Barack Obama. To realize this dramatic change for the better in our country, EVERYONE MUST VOTE! Humor this bluesman and make sure you vote in this election.

Welcome Ma.

Yes indeed, that's Ma Rainey. To those of you who might not know, she's the Queen of the Blues.

Now she's back. She got a computer, and a broadband connection, and now she's got herself a blog. Damn the world is better with Ma back. You got to love her attitude. They'd call her a feminist these days, she was called outrageous back then. Plus she's always had a mouth on her. And nobody I knew could party heartier than Ma, man or woman. Here's one of her best songs in the MP3 format.
