Ten Random Music Blips

Many of the posts you read on this blog have me venturing out to the country and engaging on a hike with my dog Lucille. Well, the past weekend Lucille stayed home and I took the family dirt biking instead. It was certainly a different experience for us.

Unfortunately, I guess I’m not as familiar with the word clutch as I thought and lost control of the bike. One thing for sure, I realized dirt biking was not my scene. Later that night, battered and bruised my wife gave the following Twitter update:

DIRT BIKE ACCIDENT: @TheBluesBlogger sustains injury. He is fine… However, the shed will never be the same. More to follow. ~TBBW

Not wanting to concern anyone, I sent the following tweets the next day:

Yesterday my doctor gave me some good advice when she said, “You should really stick to hiking.”

“I feel very fortunate… Thankfully, the barbecue & lawn mower cushioned my blow on the way into the steel shed.”

As a result of my accident, there won’t be an @TheBluesBlogger post this weekend. However, I will be doing some random blips shortly.

It’s unusual for me not to bring you a post each and every weekend. I felt bad and was a little bummed Sunday night. So I went on Twitter and came up with ten music blips that randomly came to mind at the time… So, while my writing skills are a little off at the moment, I thought for those that are either not on Twitter, didn’t see my sidebar updates, or just missed it, I’ve decided to publish this post… I’ve also added two additional videos to further enhance the piece.

You can click on each highlighted blip to hear that individual song… Enjoy.

Blip 1 of 10: Let’s get this BlipFest started with The Allman Brothers Band “Whipping Post.” ♫

Blip 2 of 10: If you’re feeling funky… Billy Preston – “It´s Alright Ma (I´m Only Bleeding)” ♫

Blip 3 of 10: Pretty hard to feel down when you’re listening to Electric Flag “Killing Floor.” ♫

Blip 4 of 10: Some medicine for the soul. Gary Moore “Hard Times.” ♫

Blip 5 of 10: With music like this, I’ll be up & running laps in no time. Joe Bonamassa “Blues Deluxe.” ♫

Blip 6 of 10: Recovering from this weekend’s dirt bike accident. So you’re “Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues.” ♫

Blip 7 of 10: Now that the meds have kicked in, here’s a wild choice… Jimi Hendrix “If 6 Was 9.” ♫

Blip 8 of 10: Susan Tedeschi is a fantastic artist. Her song “Learning the Hard Way” comes to mind. ♫

Blip 9 of 10: One more to go. Hope u liked the selections… Here’s Junior playing “Hoodoo Man Blues.” ♫

Blip 10 of 10: That’s it for me. Nite everyone. Here’s Luther taking it back to “Sweet Home Chicago.” ♫

Thanks to all who sent their messages my way. I truly appreciate your concern in regards to this most ridiculous scenario…. I’m sore, but will be up and around very soon.
