RANDOM NPR POST

just an odd little post. go to beginning! ok. i guess in 1993 or so, i was back at art school getting my degrees and i was taking 'Poetry in the blues'. i love old blues. heh. started i guess with robert johnson. so, i had some money and was at the downtown The Exclusive Company. in front of the blues section. no idea about anybody in front of me and i had gotten one or 2 other Yazoo CDs. which one this time and i got it down to 2. and finaly took the Mississipp sheiks. ooh lucky me. great CD. is keeping me not thinking so much about keith. except that Blood in my eyes for you.
well, i did get a good grade, mainly because my end essay on the blues.
i have been playing it a lot lately and last week, or longer ago, it popped up on NPR. 1st one all thinhs considered. about how one song has been changed by the people doing it. i had re-read the liner notes and he 1st played a song by al jolson-sitting on top of the world. BUT BUT BUT that isn't the sheiks version. then he played the sheiks. and THEIR version is the one that was picked up by all the artists and changed.
then while at aunties,was listening to that music show out of New Orleans. and they played em.
o hope they get even more play.
and please baby was redone by the notting hillbillies. another great sheiks tune.
i suppose i am recommending them. listening to them right now.
