Did you know the Blues Brothers were based on the Downchild Blues Band? The original lead guitar and singer were actually brothers.

They do a good version of that, but I prefer the original. Big Joe Turner. Many versions out there, this is a good one.

Why did I never know that the legendary Paul Shaffer was part of the SNL band.

Him on the keys with his cheeky smile and antics at the 1:25 mark - legendary!

Seventy years later, Big Joe Turner still holds 2nd place for the Healthy Relationships Award in Musical Lyrics. "Don't make me nervous when I'm holding a baseball bat."

Coming in third is Junior Brown:

It's good to see you baby, it's been a long long while
We're both a whole lot older, and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good ol days
And you've been in some trouble since we went our separate ways
We'll have to say hello maybe some other time instead
'Cause you're wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you're dead

I have heard that song MANY times, but have never really heard the lyrics. Big Joe Turner is not know for enunciating and the music behind his is just too good, so I listen to that. I will never hear that song the same way again.

One of my favorite songs for lyrics is Tab Benoit's rendition of "Too many dirty dishes for just us two."

Story time and then I am done (Sorry if I hijacked PN).
The company that I worked for 7 years ago was building a place in China. I took many 2 week trips over there. About the third or fourth trip we were running out of work for us to do. I sent home the other guy I was with, so it was only me and the Chinese crew. The high temp was about 42 ad there were no windows of doors on the concrete building yet. I did not have enough work to keep me busy but I could not go home yet. It was Wednesday and I was not going to leave until Saturday, as you can guess I was not happy.

I decided to sweep up some sand that we had put on an epoxy floor the day before. I grabbed one of their brooms (Which is a bunch of sticks tied to a big stick) threw on my ear buds and started sweeping. The song "Nice and Warm" from Tab Benoit came on. A nice blues guitar lick and then the words that were perfect for my situation. I listened to it 3 times in a row and it became my anthem for the rest of the trip. The words really hit home because I am from SoCal and the sun is always nice and warm here.

Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm

Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm

You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones

Oh you know I shivered myself to sleep last night
the cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up and realized that
this ain't no place for me
and I can't
can't wait to get back home

where the sun is always nice and warm

You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones

Some good old friends got together
and they took me away
from this cold old alley babe
to a warm place I could stay

oh I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm

I'm so happy to see you all
and that old nasty chill is gone

There's a beautiful full moon out tonight. It's very hazy though so maybe more a werewolf moon.
