    Among the tweets I add each day are tiny fragments of blues history—from artists to songs to books and more—shared to entertain and evoke further exploration and discussion. It’s about keeping the blues alive.

  2. The rumor that the producers of John Lee Hookers' "Johnny Lee" album recorded it using a mic shoved in a toilet bowl is false, according to Hooker in . On "In the Mood," however, Hooker's voice and guitar were run through an echo chamber.

  3. In a interview, Eddie Boyd said he stopped Willie Mabon from killing Leonard Chess over $$. "He really was going to kill the man. I got him to promise he wasn't going to shoot nobody. He [Chess] knew Willie came to kill him. So that made Leonard hate Willie."

  4. Originally, "Juke" was the theme song of The Muddy Waters band in the 1950s. Muddy helped many sidemen become bandleaders, including Little Walter. "Leonard [Chess] wanted to record that record," said Muddy. "And it went out under Little Walter's name."

  5. There's an unforgettable moment in the great concert film, "Gunsmoke Blues." Big Mama Thornton and Big Joe Turner are in heated, drunken argument over a whiskey bottle. The camera pans left to capture Muddy Waters' truly pained and perplexed expression.

  6. How many Jamaican-born bluesmen have recorded with and toured with ? There can be only one: Eddie Kirkland. Listen to his 1963 primal dance song, "The Hawg," if you dare.

  10. Johnny Guitar Watson was a master at reinventing himself--a Texas blues gunslinger in the 50s to a funk master in the 70s. He even cut a jazz album somewhere along the way.

    Jimmy Reed had this to say about record company's mistreatment of blues artists: "The average cat, they turn around and pull a thing and just pray you don't come up with no lawyer." Reed, however, eschewed legal council because he felt lawyers' fees were patently unreasonable.

    Big Bill Broonzy was perhaps the best at writing well-wrought lyrics that cut right to the truth of important matters of life.

    John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd gave the blues a shot in the arm in 1980. The ripple effect, in terms of bringing new fans to the blues, is incalculable. These men had the unique ability to inhabit the body and revive the spirits of long-dead bluesmen.

    All that I know for certain is the battle took place in 1964. Who went first? Who won? I guess only a living audience member could say for certain at this late date.
