Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.


Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.


Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste


This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Keegiam, thanks for this information;


"There are folks in inner city America who have never known, or known of, a family member that has ever had a job. Generations."

I didn't realize things have been that bad for that long, and just to think, President Obama gave banks and corporations Billion for bailout.

Today's Listen:

Classic song.  Two versions by two of Mississippi's greatest, one a legendary blues singer and one a current Jazz singer.

I could never listen to Son House, if I was at home alone at night.

Casandra Wilson from "Jackson Mississippi" is one of my favorites, and from what I heard, she still lives there.

Son House, if that ain't the blues I would like to know what is; as one girl I knew would say "Just throw me out in the alley and let me roll with the rest of the tin cans"; that's when she was enjoying the low-down Blues.
