Musical Mondays - Muddy Waters, Nina Simone, B. B. King, John Lee Hooker & Otis Rush

Update 2: Because of Apple's desperate drive to rid the world of all things Microsoft, one pc at a time, I'm enduring a technical challenge that is greater than usual. I"ve called in a couple of noble Jedi Knights to do battle with these nepharious creatures, while Yoda and Obi-wan stand guard with me. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll emerge victorious. May the best creature win!

Update 1: Due to a technical glitch I'm not able to comment on 99% of sites, so I'm lurking. Yes, I'm a voyeur extraordinare! Hopefully I can spend some time with some apple experts and fix the issue by tonite. If things begin to look bad I'll resort to emailing. It's either that or reading some more on String Theory, so lets see which side of me wins: the humorous or the intellectual. You know what th Blues song says: You can't keep a Good woman down.

"Oh yes, he done gone and done me wrong baby!" It's all Q's fault. Q being the Quicktime/iTunes download that corrupted some of my registry files, forced itself on my poor virginal and unsuspecting laptop, without the opportunity of protest or a gasp. As a result, I'm now suffering from MAJOR technical ills and I'm unable to run the applets/plugins needed to comment on various blogging platforms, or to listen to my music or watch videos (damned iTunes), in order to bring you this week's musical selection. Lucky for me, I was able to visit this master digital spinner and lo and behold, he - like me, was feeling the blues! Different kinda blues, but blues nevertheless.

So go on over and have a listen to 2 of my favorite blues artists amongst the other greats. They are great for when your heart has been trodden upon. At his site you'll find:
Muddy Waters rousing the house with Mannish Boy, and
Nina Simone singing I Fell For You.

Thanks Daz'd. Hope you & your wife are feeling better!

That, my fellow NY'er, is the best music in the world.

I saw JLH's last show. It was near us, in Santa Rosa.

Sad to see him go,

I love the blues...

I sure hope you get your computer fixed soon! And there is NOTHING like Nina Simone!

Ugh...my worst nightmare. I hope your Jedi Knights will quickly chase down and nuetralize the Death Star affecting your PC!

Live long and prosper....wait wrong one, May the force be with you.

You're not alone. My PC breaks out in hives whenever I try to use Quicktime.

And I don't even want to talk about what happened the one time I actually paid money for something on iTunes.
