OH! THEY SAY SOME PEOPLE LONG AGO WERE SEARCHING FOR A DIFF'RENT TUNE, ONE THAT THEY COULD CROON AS ONLY THEY CAN. THEY ONLY HAD THE RHYTHM SO THEY STARTED SWAYING TO AND FRO. THEY DIDN`T KNOW JUST WHAT THEY HAD AND THAT IS HOW THE BLUES REALLY BEGAN: THEY HEARD THE BREEZE IN THE TREES SINGING WEIRD MELODIES AND THEY MADE THAT THE START OF THE BLUES. AND FROM A JAIL CAME THE WAIL OF A DOWN HEARTED FRAIL, AND THEY PLAYED THAT AS PART OF THE BLUES. FROM A WHIPPOORWILL OUT ON A HILL, THEY TOOK A NEW NOTE, PUSHED IT THROUGH A HORN 'TIL IT WAS BORN INTO A BLUE NOTE. AND THEN THEY NURSED IT, REHEARSED IT, AND GAVE OUT THE NEWS THAT THE SOUTHLAND GAVE BIRTH TO THE BLUES!
