I warn'd ju!

It's a very serious first shot and I am striving for that 30s Delta Blues thing. Jimmy Rodgers did well copying the black blues-men of the era. He even used brass effectively.

I fear that nobody besides me will want to listen but its a starting point, a launching pad, if you will.



The first rule of writing is -- stick to what you KNOW.

The second rule is to take what you know and state it with sincerity.

You don't know ebonics, Don. What you think are ebonics is not only dated, but is the type of language that was created not by those who used and lived the language, but by those who attempted to make a mockery of same from the outside.

And the suggestion to use your very well-founded knowledge of the Oysrish "ebonic" is a very good one.

Sometimes we don't see the value of that which we know so well and tend to look right past the obvious.
