The following is another Bumba composition which uses only two chords (so it’s real easy to play) and which demonstrates how desperate Every Day Another Story is for material. Also, I thought we needed a break from the talking animal sculptures.
Well I wake up in the morning with the blues in my head
I’m just glad that I ain’t dead
Whoa, I got them low-down blues again
Come here honey, come here quick
I got something I wanna say but I keep forgetting it
Whoa, I got them low-down blues again
I started walkin, walkin these blues
I been walkin a long time
I’m gonna walk these blues away somehow
I’m gonna walk these blues away somehow
Gonna keep on walkin these blues away
Gonna keep on walkin these blues away
An Occasional Story 
hi Bumba,
enjoy this VINCENT version
played on a (very expensive) harp guitar
by Muriel Anderson:
Very fine. I can’t imagine tuning that thing. Frizz, have you ever heard Malagasy valliha? Also a lot of strings. Rakatozafy? Rakatozafy will change your life.
don’t follow Vincent and hurt your ear!
thanks for making your art unforgettable in my A to Z system:
verrry bluesy, Stephen! more than a Ray Charles was …

from Germany
Nothing like hearing the blues to make ya feel even bluer. 🙂
Love it!
I am also a fan of Vincent and the music and poem are a good match. thank you
Yes. I’ve used Van Gogh’s pictures on a number of my blues posts and they always look good together. I guess they’re good pictures.
I already love V. Van Gogh’s work yet coming along with your chords playing today, I see them worthier…blesses
Yeah, I think Van Gogh had the blues too.
I can imagine ol’ Van singing this, too!!!
Me too 🙂
If this is what you crank out when you’re desperate for material, I hope the ideas never flow freely again (just kidding).
I loves me a good old time piano blues. Got any Ragtime lying around?
Thanks for the complimemnts. I love ragtime too. I’ll try to play some on the blog. I posted Up a Lazy River a coupla months ago. That’s a beautiful ragtime progression.
A search function somewhere on the blog, perhaps…
