My music playlist for today (July 27, 2012 edition)

I’m going to wrap up the playlist’s “giants week” today with a dose of some blues.

To be honest, there’ve been way too many great blues musicians to single out as being the greatest. That goes back to the days of the “Father of the Blues,” W.C. Handy.

Like Louis Armstrong with jazz, though, there has been one blues artist who has served as an ambassador to the world when it comes to the blues for a lot of years, one who’s influenced blues musicians who’d come after him with his style on the blues guitar.

That guitar has a name: “Lucille.” It’s played by the king: B.B. King.

About A View From The Middle (Class)

Hi, my name's John. I've thought about this blogging stuff for a number of years now. I got into it for real on November 10, 2011, after suddenly losing my job in late October. I've been blogging ever since, and I kept it up over a period of a year and four months of being unemployed or under-employed, to try and paint a picture of what being jobless with a family to support can be like. Finally, on February 28, 2013, I got a better job that puts us back into the "middle class." I won't stop blogging, though. Who knows, maybe I can actually turn this blogging stuff into a way to earn a living someday! If you go to my blog at http://viewfrommiddleclass.wordpress.com/ and click on my About page, it'll tell you a lot about me -- maybe more than you ever wanted to know. I'm just your average, laid-back guy who's GOING TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD, despite all the roadblocks thrown in the way. I also launched a "niche" blog on music at http://thecrossovermusicchannel.blogspot.com/ that I'm very excited about because of the popularity of music playlist articles here. Also, check out and "Like" this blog's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/daddysangbassdude2 for instant updates. Look forward to seeing y'all around!
