Song Sung Blue
Sidey's Weekend Theme is "blue", so here is Tinman's guide to one of the most famous of all music genres....
*****************************************************
The first requirement of being a blues singer is that you woke up this morning. Of course, most of us did, but we don’t feel the need to complain about it. Your next problem could be anything - your woman could have left you (the Lovesick Blues) you could have a hangover from last night’s pub-crawl (the 12-Bar Blues) or you might be tired after the walk uphill home (the Hill Street Blues).
Apropos of our Music Passion game whose theme this month of September is "The Blues", I managed to stumble upon a brilliant Freshly Pressed piece that is hilariously informative for all who have ever wanted to compose and sing the Blues. Pop on over to Tinman's blog and see his irreverent tongue-in-cheek style that had me howling with laughter earlier today. Thanks Tinman for making me laugh! And thanks for the permission to reblog. I hope the added traffic from the tens of ... er... tens of followers I have doesn't crash your stats. OK folks, go on over and show the Tinman some love...

Phil, Tinman’s piece is stupendously funny. Can’t stop laughing. Laughter being, for obvious reasons, unbecoming. But then I am not a Blues singer. Neither will my tears wet the harmonica.

It was funny. I rather like his sense of humor overall on his other posts as well.
I finally understand the blues. Thanks for the referral to that delightful post, Phil!
The humor was spot on, obviously from a writer that knows the genre and likes it.
This was great, Phil – just great to read. My gosh, you’ve got me smiling big time!
Noeleen, glad it made you smile, though the humor was all Tinman’s.

But Androgoth, it’s only the beginning of October! I suppose you are lobbying for a bigger celebration?
