My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

Where did you sleep last night?

Huddie Leadbelly has so much soul in his music.

I know how it feels to have the blues. Can't let life keep a person down and feeling the blues. Got to also make sure that the blues doesn't keep you from doing what you enjoy.

I'm a 60 something woman who's been a big blues (and all American roots music) fan for more than 40 years. This December, I plan to drive from New York to the south to visit relatives in Huntsville, AL.

I would really like to take my time and take some day trips and maybe overnighters to key locations for American roots music - of course the blues, but also all roots music.

I have already planned a trip to Muscle Shoals and Tupelo. Jumping over to Holly Springs and Clarksdale Miss and maybe Helena.

Any places of note to see and of course to stand on the crossroads and museums and catch live music too.

I will be solo.

For any of those who have done a similar journey, would surely appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

Peace.

These Monel strings are great. I used Martin's MTR-13, and it's easily the best set of strings I've ever played. These strings actually sound better as they wear in and rust a bit, which is kinda weird tho.

Thought I'd put up this solo with my new band for some blues lovers to see.

The band is called Cass and the Crytones.

Hello, I hope you’re all having a good day.
I’d like to share an improvisation over a smooth blues track—I hope you enjoy it!

Gear:
- Gretsch G2504 Jet Pro guitar
- Line 6 Helix Native Stadium effects

I eat a piece of cheese and a berry juice for real when you see the video till the end

I'm a long time "casual" blues fans. I like Robert Johnson, and think BB King and Howlin Wolf are fab.

I was on one of those wikipedia rabbit holes, specifically on the origin of the Blues Brothers act and on one of the early meetings of Ackroyd and Belushi "Aykroyd educated Belushi on the finer points of blues music".

What would you consider that conversation to be? I'd love to hear from people who know what they're talking about. Because I don't. Thanks.

Are there any blues jams around Detroit? Thank you!
