Hi Steve, Funny Blues List...I got a chuckle out of the part about the oboe--brings back childhood memories when my parents forced me to take oboe lessons in junior high.  Needless to say, I can't remember an oboe note today!

Steve...

This is a great list, and really does have a lot to do with the spirit of the blues in a lighthearted way!

Steve - I worked with a guy at a software development company for a few years.  He was an amazing software engineer.  But when he walked out the door at 5:00 pm each night, another personality took over.  That guy was an amazing Blues singer and musician.  He was a South Carolina guy.  You would have never thought a white guy could produce  deep soulful sounds like that.  His name was Clark Bishop. 

Another guy from the company, Jason Haxton was equally good musician, but not so much with the vocals.  They have a website for their band (which disbanned in 2009).  The "Strictly For Kicks" band website can be accessed at: http://www.myspace.com/strictlyforkicks   Check out the music links.  One of the songs titled, "Love, Sex and Romance" was actually written by Clark Bishop, and his singing of it, curls my toes!
