There is something about this regional dialect, the way you set the scene, that is like the Delta Blues, except without the familar beat and musical tone. It is the oral history of Robert Johnson and through Muddy Waters to the blues men of today..thank you lady, you keep writing and i will come on in your kitchen..thank you.. Goldenrose. |
