Blues, once a popular and influential musical genre, has become scarce in many Black communities, with seeming abandonment by young Black-Americans. At just 24 years years old, Kingfish (Christone Ingram), represents a resurgence of the blues due to his remarkable talent, life story, youthful energy, & dedication to the blues.
Bio was too big, and I didn't yet make an #Introduction:
Hi, I'm Leonard/Janis (like Cohen/Joplin respectively), I use they/them pronouns, he/him (Leo) and she/her (Janis).
I'm a #genderqueer#hacker from #Berlin. I'm a professional procrastinator, don't expect me to stick to one project :'-)
Outside of computing I love #running, #handball and #rollerblades, adore cats, have a passion for #teaching and spend too much time following politics. I listen to #Blues but my musical taste has since widened to also embrace R'n'B, Rock, Funk, and a lot of modern stuff. I read classic #fiction and my favorite authors are Terry #Pratchett, Douglas Adams, J.R.R. #Tolkien, Robert Harris, and Sjöwall & Wahlöö (rather male dominated, send recommendations!).
I'm politically left #AssignedCatAtBirth but not settled on the specific question of government.
I'm a #privacy and #security fetishist (these aren't the same, sometimes even oblique). Some see a gray space here, I consider the right to data self-determination a fundamental right. Also, free #housing, #publicTransport and a livable environment are fundamental. #Learning and #teaching are crucial for individuals and society. Tech won't solve our core problems, merely highlight them and perhaps provide tools for change we can use.
She was referred to as the "Empress of the Blues", but it seems like she has been lost to modern consciousness. That makes me sad. Will you check out this amazing woman?
I just moved here from sysad.ninja. I'm a #IT & #cybersecurity instructor/course developer.
I am a mediocre upright bass player focusing on #celticmusic, #blues and melodic #jazz. I've also done sound, run theatres, written and produced a play, etc.
My wife and I are currently beginning a small market farm, so you'll also see lots of posts about plants, trees, and the war against invasive privet.
#JoeCocker transformed #TheBeatles' song for his debut LP in 1968, and the response was massive. His emotional performance at Woodstock was the unofficial theme song of the Festival.
Cocker performed the song in 1980 at the Metropol #Berlin and the concert aired on #Rockplast.
Moderator's best album so far is his most recent one, the impeccably titled and perfectly atmospheric Forbidden Acts of Vaudeville. A collaboration with Oddly Humes, the genre indicator tags you'd want include #downtempo#hiphop#beats#blues#surf#guitar#lounge and more but the point is that it's a pure vibe. A late 2023 release and instant top tier album of the year, my fav tracks include Set My Soul On Fire & Just Before Dawn, but this is a play from the top album
Of all the musical discoveries I have made on the internet, The Chicago Brother & Sister Blues Band is one of my favorites, but also one of the saddest. I would like to do a thread about them, because talent like this deserves recognition. But a content warning is also in order later in the thread. This story has a dark ending. #blues#SanFrancisco
A long long time ago, when I was nothing but a teenage band dropout with a bad bass clarinet habit, I ended up on a school trip to Sacramento to debate at the state level. The debates were held at the Hyatt, where we also stayed for the night....

Feelin’ Good and Groovin’: How #Blues#Guitar Speaks to the Depths of the Soul
“When you listen to blues music, you can feel things that are very painful, deep, and moving while still feeling at ease. The music in the best blues turns the pain into something lighter and oh so soothing.”
In the modern era, Joe Bonamassa has emerged as a true icon of the blues guitar. With his virtuosic playing and soulful expression, Bonamassa has captivated audiences around the world.
OC The Blues are universal, sweetheart...
