I can't remember if this has been posted before :)
A big-city lawyer went duck hunting in Tennessee. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence.
As the lawyer climbed over the fence to collect the bird, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.
The lawyer replied, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field. Now I'm going in to retrieve it."
The old farmer looked the lawyer in the eyes and stated firmly, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."
The lawyer huffed angrily, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the country. If you don't let me get my duck, I'll sue you."
The old farmer smiled. "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in Tennessee. We settle small disagreements like this with the Tennessee Three Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What's the Tennessee Three Kick Rule?"
The Farmer answered, "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."
The attorney thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the lawyer. His first kick to the shin had the lawyer hopping around on one foot when suddenly the farmer planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. The attorney was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to pass out.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot, now it's my turn."
The old farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

Since when is Clapton considered "blues?" His album 'Blues' is (was?) called "Blues Rock" I guess but is he really BLUES??? Just wondering.
Pretty, pretty, pretty stuff most of it...... I think I've got 7-8 different artists' renditions of 'Tears In Heaven' for instance..... but in my guts I guess I've never known it was blues!
You can check out Clapton's comment on the subject in the intro to Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert here.Quote:

Well, OK, I take back everything I've said about what I think of as "blues"!
I searched it, wiki'd it and watched the liddle vid.
Turns out I've got a whole lot more "blues" than I thought once you start including "blues influenced" :)
That liddle vid is about 3 hours. Most of it pretty good IMO.Quote:

Try Howling Wolf, Mother Guitar Hubbard, Jimmy Reed, Lightning Hopkins, Muddy Waters etc. Idoubt you will find their work what you are looking for but if I got right you owe me 10 bucks.

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of Buffalo, New York scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 120 years. They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorker's, in the weeks that followed, a Los Angeles, California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just outside Oceanside. Shortly after, a story in the LA Times read, "California archaeologists, reporting a finding of 200 year old copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorker's.
One week later, a local newspaper in Jasper, Georgia reported the following: "After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture near the community of Jasper, Mr. Ruybal, a hell of an engineer and a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Mr. Ruybal has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Georgia had already gone wireless."
Just makes a person proud to be from Georgia!
I had not heard it in years but was listening to You tube at lunch a few months back. Eric Clapton and Stevie Winwood " I am wasted an I can't find my way home." And there is some Cream that I just gotta heard when I see it on my phone.
This Sunday's word of the day.

I just watched 'Blacksnake Moan' and as much as I detest Samuel L Jackson'rs political views..... THERE was some blues. Hardcore, real BLUES....Quote:
