Oh When The Saints




First of all, a big shout to bigrockcandymountain and fire of love, keep up the good work partners....
AND TODAY THE WINNER IS...PAPAAAA LIGHTFOOOOOOOT !!!(applause)
Damn me, I have to quote Wand Dang Dula Again...here we go:
« Alexander alias George "Papa" Lightfoot was born in Natchez, Mississippi, in March of 1924. This absolutely rough-sounding blues-harpist, washboardist, radio DJ and entertainer started playing in the late 1940's with a group called the Gondoliers, recorded for Aladdin, Sultan, Peacock, King, Imperial and Excello labels, and toured with stars like Champion Jack Dupree, Fats Domino, Dinah Washington, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Smiley Lewis all through the 1950's. Papa also appeared in the obscure fifties short film "Spooky Loot", but even tho' he didn't became a star himself. In the late 1960's he came back in the spotlights, and recorded maybe the rudest delta-blues album that has ever been done. Unfortunately, in 1970, soon after the record was released, Papa died of respitary/cardiac arrest, and never got the sufficient homage of his unimaginable great and immortal music. »
So When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth .
(Don't worry I don't quote the bible, I quote Dawn of the dead).

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
