12 Bar Blues

Gimme some dat twelve bar blues	
bucket of beer, some otha booze
sluice you from my mind.

Wake up late with an achin head
bleary eyes and feelin half dead
none of you to find.

And I am certain half of America (more like 90 %) has been through this! LOL- this is why country music is so popular, great job!

Been there done that. Where did everybody go? Your first line reminded me of the first line ot the George Harrison song on his last cd. Congrats Roger.

Thanks,it seems to be a common experience,at least for blues aficionados. I'm not all that familiar with GH's post Beatles works - the only one that come to mind is My Sweet Lord.
