My father, who mostly listened to jazz, really liked Tampa Red's blues.
Tampa Red, yes indeedy. This is pure blues...and I'm not just saying that because I'm originally from Florida.

Your father had good taste in music and you do too.

Oh we try to always keep the blues as pure as we can around here. LOL. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment.
