And I don't even really like blues ...
Nevertheless, I wrote a blues song that I like and I hope you will to!
Here it is: Sugar So Sweet
Let me know if you like it or if I should leave the blues to the bluesmen.

Not too shabby for not liking the blues, Tom.
Nice and easy with good lyriics.

Even though you started this thread with these curse words ... "And I don't even really like blues" ... (Shame on you Tom ... :) ... I had a listen .... and enjoyed it very much !..
... but I'm still scratching my head ... How could anyone (especially a musician) NOT like the blues ! ... ?????

I know Sam, it's kind of crazy. I guess I should clarify or at least qualify. I love real blues played by people who actually got 'em. And I love the blues played by old black men in Mississippi where you hardly can follow the chord changes because it feels like they're just changing whenever it feels right.
What I don't like is blues played by people who don't understand the heritage and evolution of the blues, or people who only play 3 chord blues progressions and blues scales because they're easy.
Blues, if it's not sincere, all sounds alike and sooooo predictable. I guess I don't like cliches or too much predictability.
So, yeah, of course there's blues I love. I don't think there's any genre that I can't find something to love in. It's all music. And if it's sincere, I'm going to like it. There are just too many "phony" blues players - don't you think?

Absolutely agree with you Tom .... That "REAL" blues just paralyzes me ... when the soul just flows right out of the artist ... It is probably my favorite genre ... and I am so in awe of the real blues artist that I love to listen ... but I only play the blues myself when I'm by myself, cuz I could never do the blues justice like others can .... I don't mind screwing up anything else ... lol
