Remember Jennifer Aniston in her cheerleader outfit in Friends? With friends like that who needs... other friends?

Oh well, life goes on...

My bad - sorry... :oops: :oops: :oops:

At least I didn't post the picture... :D

How about one from Ralph Waldo Emerson to make up?

Does that raise the tone a bit? :)

Thanks for posting that!!!! Now I think I have a new interest. I love this style of music. Thanks!

Not a problem, Son House is one of the great old bluesmen who never got the notoriety he deserved. His music IS THE BLUES.

At the risk of being branded a threadjacker, I'd like to offer up a video I made just a few days ago for Blind Willie McTell's 1935 "The Dying Crapshooter's Blues." Not only was Blind Willie a contemporary of Son House, the story behind this song shows the lengths that friends go to for each other.

The recording features this spoken introduction:
Blind Willie McTell wrote:
I started writin' the song in '29, though I didn't finish it, I didn't finish it till 1932. Mister Williams—his name was Jesse Williams—see, he got shot here on Coral Street. And after gettin' shot, I'd taken him home. 'Cause he was sick about three weeks after I'd taken him home, sick from the shot. And so he give me this request. And then he wanted me to play this over his grave. That I did.

See, I had to steal music from every which-a-way to get it, to get it, to get it to fit. But I messed it up anyways somehow or other just to suit him. I finally played what he wanted, but he got everything he wanted but the women from Atlanta—he didn't get the women from Atlanta. 'Cause, see, it was too far for 'em to come. He's buried in New York. I'd taken him there in ambulance. Cost me two hundred—I think it was two hundred and eighty-two dollars—I think, and eighty-five cent I think the man charged me for carrying him home. But he was ill.

His father give him anything he wanted. Give him everything he wanted but the women in Atlanta. He didn't have the sixteen women, the twenty-two womens out the Hampton Hotel—he didn't have that. He didn't have the twenty-nine outta North Atlanta. And he didn't have the twenty-six offa South Bell, that which mighta we called Hell Street. That's where he hung out at, you know, doin' his, doin' his women-lovin' time, you know.

Jesse gettin' shot; I carried him home. I'd sit by his bedside every day, and he would tell me what he wanted. I would tell his daddy. So after he died, daddy said, well, everything he want I'm gonna get it. So he got everything about it but the women from Atlanta. So I had to play the Dyin' Crapshooter's Blues. That's what I was s'posed to name it.

Anyway, here's the video: The Dying Crapshooter's Blues

I find it terribly moving. Enjoy! 8)

Your friend will bail you out of jail.
