My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee....

Slappy,

Isn't this the same woman who made you sell your last stereo system so you could buy a house?

Seems to me you are better off.

Next time, look for a rich woman. Preferrably a 18 year old, blonde, nympho, with a multi-million dollar trust fund! Oh wait, that would be Paris Hilton. Nevermind!

No offense to the above recommendations, but get yourself some real blues. Check out Otis Rush "Cold Day In Hell". It's a classic Chicago West Side Blues sound. The difference between Rush and Boz or Delbert (who btw, I actually like quite a lot) is greater than the difference between Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

Slappy, I don't have any song suggestions right now, but I do offer my sympathy. It sucks to go through that, even though we've all been there it's not any easier.

Remember, people are more important than things.

Okay, I thought of a few things. Maybe you should listen to Lyle Lovett's "She's Leaving Me because She Really Wants To." Gordon Lightfoot's "Sitdown Young Stranger" later retitled "If You Could Read My Mind" is an LP that I turn to at sad times, but maybe because of association. "Rainbow Eyes" by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is another good one. How about "Rosie" from Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty."

Just remember 'heavy metal' rots your brain!

May I recommend a large dose of Robert Cray followed with some Johnny Winter, Tinsley Ellis, Son Seals, and that old british blues band Led Zepplin. Wash it down with some Johnny Walker Black ( take it easy now) yeah you will miss her, look in the mirror and repeat after me," the name is Bond, James Bond" now get to work! TG

Hey Slappy,

Sorry to hear about the woman. Yeah, the "I need some space" is a major kiss-off. Hope this cloud has a silver lining for you. Check out "Handful of Blues" by Robben Ford and the Blue Line, especially his version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". Killer.
PS I miss Colorado.
