Steem openmic week #86: I will always love trying new things, and the music of Blind Blake...

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

Good morning y'all, and what a beautiful morning it is here in Taos, NM. I just played a show last night at a venue here in town and I'm feeling PUMPED on life. Everyday is a new beginning...

So I've decided I'm gonna try something new today and enter the steemit openmic competition.

I love the music of Blind Blake, the american blues singer, so I thought I'd give it a shot with his tune "Rope Stretchin' Blues".

Not to be confused with the other Blind Blake, the Trinidadian calypso musician. Who is ALSO amazing. Apparently he stole his name from the real Blind Blake in tribute after hearing him on the radio. Can't make this stuff up folks.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great day and that you enjoy this song. And if you do, please up vote, comment, or resteem below ... Thanks!

Nice!! I only know a couple of musicians here. I usually play a gig about once a month but I've been so damn busy it's hard to focus on music
