listening

     I like to listen to

"The Blues Had A Baby And They Named It Rock And Roll"

by Muddy Waters

and then

"Corrine, Corrina"

by Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton
(Taj Mahal on vocals)

back to back.

----------------------------------

The Muddy Waters song is like a freight train roaring down the tracks -- the rockin' flyin' Chicago blues!

"Corrine Corrina" is more of a dancy, light, New Orleans-jazz-influenced celebration, with movements -- each instrument-group gets its turn to solo, to speak:  the video goes 10 minutes, so you don't have to go back right away and pick another song or play it over...

     It kind of has a spirit, almost, of forest creatures skipping happily, yet it rocks:  "Well - I - wake up-in-the-mornin'...!"

------------------------------------

Makes me want to say whisperingly, accentedly, floatily, dreamily, yet firmly:
"Just as long as it's the best"...
