Directly from my heart to you

After the last, totally depressing blog entry, I've decided to lighten up and put on a happy face.

I hope you understand; I get blue, I get real blue, I get dark blue, a murky, opaque, deep, dark blue, not that happy, electric, highly charged blue that you see in a Las Vegas neon light display encouraging you to throw caution and your hard earned money to the wind. It's more like the bottom of the ocean blue, where unknown, undiscovered things lie and the only life that can exist there is the life that has evolved there, wicked, solitary life, strangely beautiful and menacing.

I want you to understand, really understand, that what I'm saying, comes Directly From My Heart To You  via R.W. Penniman (Little Richard), via Frank Zappa, via *Sugarcane Harris.  Gene

* Thanks, Bill.

Great tune, haven't heard it in a long time. Remembered it as soon as I saw your headline. Sugarcane Harris's singing and blues fiddle (a rarity in itself) are quite impressive. Frank knew how to pick 'em. Made me look him up, apparently he passed in 1999: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_%22Sugarcane%22_Harris; http://www.sugarcane-harris.com/

Thanks for the info. That tune could heal the sick, raise the dead and probably has.
