Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey, and yellow white But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion.
Pinprick holes in a colourless sky, Let incipient figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challanges infinity and is soon gone.
Night time, to some, a brief interlude, To others, the fear of solititude. Brave Helios, wake up your steeds, Bring us the warmth the countryside needs.

Funeral Blues
|
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
|
the blues is a chair, not a design for a chair or a better chair . . . it is the first chair. It is a chair for sitting on, not for looking at. You sit on that music.
|
It's a 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
|
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
|
I find that with me low spirits and feeble health come and go together. The last two or three months I have had frequent attacks of the blues....
|
In addition to celebrating great blues music, we always wanted to make sure that proceeds from this endeavor flowed back to the musicians and to efforts to keep this wonderful music alive.
|
Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

Red is grey and yellow white
We decide which is right
and which is an illusion.
|
Oh, the blues ain't nothing but a good woman feeling bad.
|
Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help.
|
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
|
After I exhausted the blues thing, I got into jazz.
|
Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning.
|
I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.
|
I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.
|
I was lucky enough to get to see guys like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, all those great Texas blues players.
|
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.

How much for your women?
