Seems like there has been a lot of heartbreak lately...
 

...sometimes moving on is hard...memories like to tug at our hearts. About a year ago this song was my mantra and had it been on vinyl I would have worn it smooth.

Honky Tonk Blues

I could sit right here, think a thousand miles away,
Sit right here, think a thousand miles away,
Since I had the blues this bad, cannot remember the day.

Tell me, baby, what you got on your mind,
Tell me, baby, what you got on your mind,
I’m eating here and drinkin’, havin’ a lovely time.

Let me be your wiggler, till your wobbler comes,
Let me be your wiggler, till your wobbler comes,
You tell your wobbler, what your wiggler done.

I never believe in havin’ one woman at a time,
I never believe in havin’ one woman at a time,
I always have six, seven, eight or nine.

She said, “Babe, oh, baby, Babe, oh, baby,
You bound to set your sweet papa cra . . . crazy.”

How I miss "Hot Jazz Saturday Night" on WAMU
 

"In the words of music historian David McGee, 'What Elvis Presley’s Sun recordings are to rock and roll, the Red Hot Peppers’ canon is to jazz.' During a four-year span of small-band sessions for RCA Victor - especially the milestone recordings from September 1926 through June 1927 - Morton cut a series of ebullient stomps and forceful blues. His band included such jazz legends as cornet player Kid Ory, clarinetist Johnny Dodds and drummer Baby Dodds. Morton fell on hard times during the Depression and labored in obscurity as his kind of music fell from favor. He was found tending bar in 1938 by musical archivist Alan Lomax, who thereupon documented him playing piano and telling stories. Though Morton died three years later, he was rediscovered again in the Nineties via a Broadway tribute to his life and times, entitled Jelly’s Last Jam."

I wish I could see this. I'm in that Broadway kind of mood.
