Well gidday,

Assume we're talkin' 12 bar blues here, the old walkin', talkin' blues?

Since Mbo's had his adventure - and survived - I'll try and take up the thread, and compose on-line. Sidetrack Mbo - glad you made it - at your age I had to drive the same distance to get to the pub!

Now, Mbo, gotta try to get your verses into 12 bar format..;) _______________

First line of the blues Is always sung a second time First line of the blues Is always sung a second time So by the time you get to the third line You'd have time to think of a rhyme! ________________

I'd sing that as:

------------

First line of blues, Is sung a second time.

"Said", 1st line of the blues, is sung a 2nd time,

When you get to the third line,

Might have thought up a line.......

Mbo, you havta have vocal dexterity to sing your words to a 12 bar blues - and I've drunk in more than 12 bars!
