Or even a recording of "The Brotherhood" backing "Mitzi" at the 1st convention - was that not accoustic? Or Zal & Rachel at the 2nd convention?

Don't let Zal do the blues, its boring and white people should never play the blues, i'd love to hear Zal being given free rein to do new Zal/SAHB stuff, now that would rock my world!!!

I've asked Zal about this, he says he's the wrong colour, his dog isn't dead and he never picked cotton.

Others say the highlight was Chris' bass amp blowing up during a sound check - Ian from Stoke, I think, captured the event and I think posted it on here somewhere!! Ted has since said they didn't realise just how much support and behind the scenes work there was with the 1st convention - ya don't say!!! - and THEY have been in the business for how long? How was the play, Penny - was Shakespeare still dead? If so, a surprising common denominator!!

Mibbes even before that, Gin, surely the blues was born the day the first black slave in America (or maybe Glasgow-we were in on it too) fully realised that he would never see his homeland again and his heart was broken by being enslaved.

I don't think he will be back now, hope that doesn't apply to the band too. The play was ok. Can't remember which one it was though, but it had Patrick Stewart in it. Why 1953 Ginnie? Ive been puzzling over this since last night. I think I got on Peterb's nerves with my musing!!

However the "blues" emotional aspect of music was earlier. I've posted this before but it fits in here: \ This video is of Townes Van Zandt, a folk/country singer from Texas. His music is a cross between the blues, country and folk. He is singing a very emotional song that is not pure blues in style, but surely in content. Watch the reaction of the fella with him. If you don't want to watch the whole video , he starts the song around the four minute mark. Well worth the viewing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong (which I usually am) I kind of just picked that date out of a hat... by 1953 all the essential sounds for the blues had been created, and Muddy Waters and his contemporaries had developed the blues to a point where there was little more to add - except really, really fast licks by white guitar players like Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Alvin Lee etc... Of course, in 1955 Chuck Berry totally turned the blues sound into rock'n roll with "Maybelline"

Ever heard "Red House", "Catfish Blues", "Heard My Train a Comin' etc. Of course, he had his own take on how to play the blues, and I understand your point. Maybe my opinion is off but... Hey Vic, what do you think - could Jimi play the blues?

Well if thats the standard then I guess the roots evolved from Moses when he and the Hebrews lamented when forced to build the pyramids ;D "Theres a Red Pyramid over yonder..... Actually, I would agree with that Vittorio - lament, that's what seems to me to be the base of the blues. And I DO love the blues; I heartily HATE the pigeonholing of music, the "genre" - "prog rock" had been around for a long time before the term was invented - and they, once the terms were thought of, tried to say that SAHB was "glam" and then "punk" - hmmm!
When asked what kind of music did SAHB play, Alex replied "durty".
That's it then, Moses am de man, and I guess that's why they call it the blues!!
(although Job had a pretty rough time......... ;D)
