off tonight with a little classic blues for piano players for that song called after hours it goes back a long ways we're going down to new orleans tonight for you blues audience fans out there and no question that the blues informs just about everything you do if you're in the rhythm and blues market i come from a place called new orleans the home of the blues of most pop music and everything else is certainly the first thing you learn a new orleans well i guess the first thing you learn in new orleans is how to eat so if you gumbo fancy red bean fans we're going to take you down to your little song about the great to do queen a new orleans from the nineteenth century her name was yeah nineteen seventy five i think is when i first wrote this song and it's a homage to my hometown in new orleans a you know i love to write songs that have a little story behind them and sponsored by eighty eight keys dueling piano bar and seconded jackson presenting blues to do live sessions every monday of seven pm with new bands each week this monday nov fourteenth we feature wes mackie and we have a traditional blue monday jam session with cody rantis is a great jam band and out that he's in seattle's historic pioneer square we also live stream most of our monday sessions at w w w i love eighty eight keys dot com i was in the middle of writing a musical about a piano player and going for new orleans and had an idea for a song about what would happen if a new orleans boy got himself an agent that agent happened to be out west and he didn't know that this thing about the and out west  being up in the northwest and that agent decided to book him on a three month tour of alaska but what he doesn't tell them is that three months of january february and march so that's what led to this little song and before i sing it i want all the folks up in alaska know i love you up there i had a great time fishing up in alaska it was just a gas but it is a song about the new orleans boy headed on up there and it's called good good how about a little more love for mr michael kinda over here he's kicking it is always well we talked about the blues a little bit earlier and you know certainly the blues goes back to the call and response days  that of the slave bear and then in the deep south but it transformed it mutated like most musical forms do and then in addition to bessie smith probably the first great lady the blues along came the modern great lady of the blues miss billie holiday and billie had a very special talent very special voice but most of all a very special way of having people feel what she was singing about and i just thought you know you hear a lot of records seen on which people record old billie holiday songs while writing some songs for diane sure i had the idea of writing some songs heart shattered for friday november eleventh two thousand and eleven beginning at five pm in five participating clubs and planners square veteran's day blues featuring
