Thread Name: The Blues???
Subject: RE: The Blues???
89% of Pete's link now loaded... Took just a little over an hour and I'm lookin' at the sky and rain is movin' in so I might not get it all 'cause my pudder comes down from satalite... Think I'll jus' give listen maybe after the puuder goes down... It sho nuff goin' down tomorrow 'cause they callin' fir big rain so if ya'll put links up an' come back an' I ain't said nuthin' then it's 'cause of the storm...

But we need the rain...

BTW, I almost hate to put this guy into the mix but I feel I gotta... Another prodegy that learnt up his blues is "Rev. Slick"... Well, he ain't exactly a reverand but the boy come to Como about 8 years ago after his junior year ibn high school back in NC... Skinny white kid who had some chops and he lived that summer with Mr. Othar (Otha Turner) and got himself educated in the blues and he was out there playin' some fine north Mississippim hill country blues when that gold croos he wore around his neck finally sank in and when that happened he swore off the blues... Kinda like Son House but Son kept goin' back but Rev, Slick (Danuel Ballenger is his real name) just been wlakin' the straight and narrow since then and is playin' gospel music these days... Heck, the boy gotta lotta talent so he can play whatever he wants... Jus' wished he didn't get so caught up in that blues is the devil's music crap 'cause now he's gone from the blues scene...

I doubt anyone gonna find much on him but if ya'll do find a clip, he sho nuff was enetrtainin'...

B~

p.s. Sorry, D-Dancer about the Chinese band... Some parts were better than otyhers... That rat-a-tat drum machine in the background was irritating to me... Jus' play the stuff stright up, I say...
