The Blues For Mighty Joe

It seems like time to talk about The Blues again. This is a detail shot from The Blues for Mighty Joe. It is currently traveling with Rhythm 'n' Blues in Europe.

I hope you can see the gold french knots in the lower right. You may be able to see the way the stitching in the red at the top right textures the fabric.

This was the first of The Blues. It was inspired by The Fremonts. The Fremonts with Mighty Joe Milsap come to Tucson to play about once a year. I was lucky enough to hear them on alive at five at kxci 91.3 radio one evening coming home from a day of errands. Take a listen to the samples on the link to the Fremonts.

If you aren't familiar with community radio you can get kxci if you have high speed anywhere in the world. If you have a phone modem you have to be patient as it downloads and then buffers; but you can get it. It's not PBS. It is truly community supported radio; all the DJs are volunteers. If you like the blues, as I do, you will want to use kxci to search out Marty Kool and The Blues Review. I also heard the other day that kid squid is putting together an afternoon of the blues. Both these men pull from their own private collections; much of this music is unavailable otherwise. Have fun.
