hello


thanks for coming.

music is the harbinger of happiness in ones life.

for some its popular music, and for others its traditional music. for me, its a little bit of everything.

im the kind of guy who puts the whole shebang in his burger cause i dont want to miss out on any flavours. for me, its the same with music. blues, ballads or beatboxing- its all good.

i want to share some of my favourite songs from a variety of genres which i hope you can enjoy as much as i do.

thanks for coming.

big bill broonzy is the king of blues





big bill broonzy is the king of blues.
born before the start of 20th century this arkansas born musician played music from an early age. when he was 10 he put together a home made fiddle using a cigar box and jammed folk songs with his uncle. he then moved to chicago in 1924 learning to play the guitar evetually being signed by paramount records releasing his first record "big bill's blues". record sales were poor until he signed with vocalion records and eventually mercury records.
with over 300 records to his name broonzy is a blues legend.
although his most popular song is probably "key to the higway", it is not the one i like the most. "black, brown or white" was introduced to my by my dad a couple years back and its the simple guitar chords with satirical lyrics make it my favourite.
enjoy.
