Subject: RE: Blues songs for kids?
You MUST check out Jimmy Bowskill, the 13 year old blues guy who just won himself a Canadian Indie Award. I've heard him sing and play....to tell you the truth I expected simplicity and copy-cat musicianship, but what I heard was real talent and knowledge of the syle. He chums with the likes of Rick Fines and Colin Linden. Jimmy is quite amazing and has written some songs that you would find quite appropriate for a young blues audience (and grownups, too). His CD is called "Old Soul".
