I don't think anyone can really sing the Blues unless he or she woke up at least one time with bullfrogs on their mind. And I don't mean any get-rich quick schemes involving bull frog farming, or purchasing bull frog futures. It helps if you live near a swamp and sleep with the window open. It is almost impossible to wake up with bull frogs on your mind if you have an air conditioner in your bedroom. If you DO wake up with them, other members of your family, especially your Granpaw, will tend to have them too. The best way to get rid of them , as well as other assorted Blues-related afflictions, is to "go to Chicago" if you are living in the country, or conversely, to "go to the country" if you are living in Chicago. If you leave, you need to ask your girlfriend if she will go with you. If she won't go, it is perfectly acceptable in the Blues Ethic to invite her sister, or some other member of her family.

That's all for now. I need to go dust my broom...LEJ
