Chicago Blues

As time went on the electric Blues became centralised in one place and that was Chicago Illinois. Bluesicians came from St Louis, Memphis, even New Orleans to form the Blues capitol of the world in Chicago. Blues Record Labels and recording studios catering to only the finest Blues musicians popped up. Aligator Records, Chess Records, Delmark just to name a few. My favorite music to play is the Chicago style Blues. I have never been to Chicago but one day I will make the pilgramage to Chicago the home of the blues. The Blues found its way into my heart the day I started working at the United States Government Printing Office in June of 1974. I was riding home from work and heard a Paul Butterfield tune on the radio and said to myself I want to do that, I want to play the harmonica just like him. So I stopped at the music store and bought my first harmonica that evening. That day in June was the begining of my career and the beginning of a musical journey that I am still doing both even today. I remember my parents asking me what i wanted for xmas that year and I told them I want every key marine band harmonica. They laughed at me and said "Why you wont do nothing with them as with everything else youve tried in your life." How true that statement was as up until that point my life had been a total failure. I tried piano lessons, i even tried playing the guitar and bass guitar and quit them all. Well my life had changed that day in june 1974 i no longer was a failure but the begining of a successful and wonderful life. I never forgot that Paul Butterfield tune that started it all it was "Born in Chicago". The first song I ever learned to play and the first song i ever sang in a band. Have a listen to me singing and Playing "Born In Chicago", and dont laugh at my singing..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoMXC8sV11g
