Thread Name: Best BLUES lines
Subject: RE: Best BLUES lines
ddw...sometimes I wonder who invented these lines anyway. Jimmy Page stole it from Muddy, who stole it from Robert, who stole it from Son, who probably stole it from Blind Lemon, who probably stole it from somebody sitting on his porch playing a diddley bow. This stuff somehow has the strength of archetypal imagery, which is the magical thing about traditional music.
