Thread Name: BS: Singing the blahs
Subject: BS: Singing the blahs
I didn't know whether or not this was a music thread, so I put it here.

I've discovered a whole new genre of folk music: the blahs. And you too can become a noted blahsman or blahswoman; in fact, you can help define the genre.

So far it's defined a being sung in any key as long as you don't use any notes other that E, F, G, and A. No accidentals allowed, and it must be in 4/4 time throughout, tempo di fugue. Subjects include, but are not limited to: gray, mediocrity, drinking lite beer, having your woman (or man) go shopping, making enough money to pay the bills, and having the TV die in the middle of a football game, getting a ticket for parking in a no parking zone. Ideally, the music is played on a guitar you bought at Walmart.

I'm pretty sure Bobert could add immensely to this genre.
