Now I know there's folk in hospitals who are far worse off than me,
Oh, but that don't mean to much when my spirit don't feel free."

I really love the animals cover of this song. While were on the topic of blues I just got to see BB King live which was awesome. this is one of my favorite BB King songs.

Yeah, Smokestack Lightening Is a great tune and The Animals certainly made it their own. I like all of them, which is why I posted so many.

BB is always great, too. I can spend a lot of time listening to him. I'll bet he puts on a terrific show.

Stormy Monday is another long time favorite of mine. I first heard it from the Allman Brothers on their Live at Filmore East album. When he introduces it, he says it's "an old Bobby Bland song" and then quickly corrects himself saying, "actually it's a T-Bone Walker song"' an understandable mistake since they were doing their best to copy Bobby Bland's version.

God said, "Abraham, Kill me a son."
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on."
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but now
Next time you see me comin', man you better run."
Abe say, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61".
