Hey!
The three question marks are the key here.
What is a blues song?
Does it have to follow the usual blues pattern?
Does it have to be about losing your lover or can it be about other sad events like your car breaking down?
I guess not many people nowadays are going to write songs about cotton pickin and totin that bale.
Someone said to me recently 'I like your blues songs but they are a bit sad'
I love folk and blues music. Luckily they seem to be happy bedfellows at the moment. They can certainly overlap in terms of style of songwriting.
Danger is making it some kind of intellectual subject for discussion and disemmination!!!
