The cure for the "no blues" blues

What gives you the blues?Used to be I'd stay up late most Friday and Saturday nights listening to live blues at Gilly's or the Oregon Express in Dayton, Ohio. And when I couldn't get out of the house, the overnight blues shows on public radio stations WYSO and WXVU kept the blues spirit burning.
Acmyles Lately though, I just haven't had time for the blues. And I miss it. Thanks to Standford's KZSU's "Blues with a Feelin'" program for turning me on to California bluesman A.C. Myles. Myles' "Hello Sundown" is crisp, fresh and just the cure for my "no blues" blues. I plan on spinning through all 13 tracks of Up to My Neck in the Blues as soon as my copy arrives from CD Baby.
The blues is back in my life. Looks like it's going to be a late night.
