Loved your "How to write a Blues song" Post. I just wanted to add the fact that blues songs never truly commit to disaster or tragedy, instead they "believe"

"Gonna get up in the mornin, believe I'll dust my broom."

"I been shooting craps and gambling, woman I believe I done got broke"

"Somebody call for a doctor, believe I got the Pneumonia this time"

I believe we should stick to this when writing blues. Steve Latimer
