Let's write some Blues

This doesn't quite belong in 'original writing' or 'music and lyrics', but if others think otherwise, let me know, and we'll move it.

I've always been a big blues fan, but let's face it...there hasn't really been a lot of good new stuff out there relating to our modern-day lives. I just thought it might be fun to post an original verse or two based on our real day-to-day woes. I'll start off:

Woe is me, woe is me,
Oh woe is me, woe is me,
three, four times a week
my wife makes me watch WWE.

Anyway, you get the idea...

This will sound much better with piano music in a dark, stinky, tavern. I'll sit ontop of the piano, with a whiskey in my hand, and sing my blues ballad for one and all.

If you want truly authentic C&W, you gotta have a pick-em-up truck somewhere in the song...
