Dancing the blues
So the whole reason I started the Dead Exs was to give people a chance to dance to the blues. The delta blues started way back in the juke joints of the south…there was no amps, no light show, no gaga, just a feeling and a need to shake off a day in the fields with a party…Here is what Wikipedia says. “Juke joint music began with the black folk rags (“ragtime stuff” and “folk rags” are a catch-all term for older African American music[7]) and then the boogie woogie dance music of the late 1880s or 1890s and became the blues, barrel house, and the slow drag dance music of the rural south (moving to Chicago‘s black rent-party circuit in the Great Migration) often “raucous and raunchy”[8] good time secular music. Dance forms evolved from ring dances to solo and couples dancing.
We played a raucous show in NYC last night and were so stoked to see a bunch of kids dancing and singing to a couple of inspired musicians: one playing slide guitar and the other thrashing a drum kit. So duly inspired, I set off today to find some examples of dancing to the blues. So moving forward I would have to say the general theme shall be: have fun and get air.
With Love,

Check out NYC/LA rock & roller Trip Loon’s The Dead Notes
Trip is a guy I have really enjoyed hanging out with in NYC at Don Hill’s and St. Jerome. He embodies the kind of restless rock n roll refugee spirit within the firm ideals of a young man coming up in the world starved of passion and grit. He is overwhelmingly positive and has a virtual catalog in his mind of music and artists that made this genre change the times. Have a look at what he’s up to on The Dead Notes.
