SONG OF THE WEEK...BLUES, BLUES & MORE BLUES

It's time to make rafters weep...to enter into the groove...to reach into music heaven...to tap, tap, tap. Join us in this adventure in the Blues...to hear tracks you may otherwise never hear...'cause Blues is my business...and business is good!

We seem to have lost our iconic mixed Blues thread so my apologies for not noticing its unintentional deletion and saving its demise. It will be sorely missed.

Time to pick up the Letter "O" that has languished in my absence.

"O" is for OUMOU SANGARE...the statuesque Diva from Mali who Denise and I have seen weave her majesty at the Sydney Opera House and at the Festival au Desert at Timbuktu

"SAA MAGNI"
