the blues had a baby...

"Well, this is a story,
A story ain't never been told.
You know the Blues got pregnant
And they named the baby
    Rock and Roll"

while watching this one of the common themes of what the british (and white) musicians that backed the legends on stage all saying that when these guys came into town to do a show if there was a rehersal, which usually there wasn't, it would be them playing a few bars on harmonica, etc. and being told 'yeh, thats good. see ya'll tomorrow'.
great stuff.
its a feeling.
