Really, I’m not trying to turn MRambler Central<\/strong> into a Blues Blog<\/em>, but, I just can’t pass up passin’ this one on…. You can blame some of this on Jek<\/strong>, as he is the one who got me two tickets to see “Watermelon Slim”<\/a> at “The “Blue Door”<\/a> for my birthday…… So-o-o, I’m back into my MRambler – Bluesman<\/strong> mode…..<\/p>\n

Let me tell you this, “Back to the Future”<\/em> as nothing on time travel….. Entering The Blue Door<\/a> is like stepping back to the late ’60’s – early ’70’s…. It’s hard to describe, but, it’s like being invited to a friend’s house that is full of musicians and hardcore music lovers….. From the outside, the only way that you know you’re there is the painted double Blue Doors<\/strong> – No signs – No entrance directions – It’s an establishment dedicated to Music, run by musicians for musicians for the love of Music, not the Music Industry Buck…..<\/em> Doesn’t matter if it’s your first time there, or your 100th, you’re treated as trusted friend – You’re not only the audience – You are part of the Act<\/strong>….. The interaction between the performer on the stage and audience become one, from the Music<\/strong> itself to discussions on other artists and equipment….. Trust me, I think you would find it impossible to locate another venue in the World that would satisfy you more…… I guarantee you that if you taped a copy of their upcoming events on the wall, threw a dart, went to see whatever artist the dart picked, whether you had ever heard of them or not, you would come away with one of the most satisfying times of your life…… Here’s a couple of pics of “The Blue Door”<\/a> and a couple of “Watermelon Slim”<\/a> With MRB<\/strong> and Roger Harrison – Mr. Bassman<\/strong>:

\nWhat can I say about “Watermelon Slim”<\/a> other than he is the best damn Delta<\/strong> style Ex-Truck Driver I’ve ever heard….. He also takes “Cover Songs”<\/em> and makes them his own….. Sort of like Hendrix <\/strong>did with cover songs….. If there’s one thing you need to do before you leave this mortal coil is see him “Live”<\/strong>…… This is MRambler – Bluesman<\/strong> stepping down off the pulpit, reachin’ for my harp and guitar to find some redemption….. Bluz – It Loud<\/strong>……<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
