"All right, guys, uh, listen. This is a blues riff in "B", watch me for the changes, and try and keep up?"

Joke of the Day!

Q: Why do bees hum?

A: They don't know the words.

Ladies and Gents! The Blues Review!

-Johnny B. Goode from Back to the Future-

The phrase "the blues" is a reference to the the Blue Devils, meaning "down" spirits, melancholy, and sadness. An early reference to "the blues" can be found in George Colman's one act farce Blue devils

The blues influenced later American and Western popular music, as it became the roots of jazz, rhythm and blues, bluegrass and rock and roll. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock developed from the combining of blues with various rock and roll forms.

A brief personal synopsis that has formulated my love for the blues. The blues seriously got me through accounting. I would zone out with my ipod and listen to blues for hours on end as I crunched countless numbers for things like cash flow statements and values of annuities. Trust in the fact that accounting is not nearly as fun as it sounds. So to sum it up without the blues I don't think I would have ever made it through accounting.

A few of my favorite artist are;

Johnny Lang-Lie to me



John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom



Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble-Testify
(SRV is an amazing guitar player)



Albert King-Blue Monday



Blues Traveler-But Anyway



BB King - How Blue Can You Get



And of course the Blues Brothers
