Big Bill

It's Sunday evening and the sun is low.
Old blues songs on the speakers.
It's mellow. Feeling alright.

Found this video that I thought was pretty rad. It's
Big Bill Broonzy, one of my very favorite old-school
blues-men, shot in Belgium somewhere in the 50's, looking very
Hitchcock-esque.

“When you write about me, please don’t say I’m a jazz musician. Don’t say
I’m a musician or a guitar player -- just write ‘Big Bill was a well-known
blues singer and player and has recorded 260 blues songs from 1925 up
till 1952; he was a happy man when he was drunk and playing with
women; he was liked by all the blues singers, some would get a little
jealous sometimes, but Bill would buy a bottle of whisky and they all
would start laughing and playing again.’” -Big Bill Broonzy
