homelessness, but pls read if u can
hi is anyone here in san jose? I have a friend who is currently sleeping in the streets. The shelter she was staying at just put some new rule in place that you have to be a student or working or looking for work, so she got kicked out.
Please contact me ASAP if you or someone you know has any spare room.
Basically, Elmore James popularized the electric guitar as an instrument for blues music.
He normally played clean, without the distortion that would come to herald the sound of Rock and Roll, but on tracks like Country Boogie (among many others) Elmore demonstrated that he could rock with the best of them (and years before many of the rest of them started rocking.)
He's one of those often overlooked faces in the history of blues and rock and roll, and that's a damn shame.
Update for those who give a shit: calling in sick was a great idea not just because I can rest but because I'm coughing up a storm when I'm not laying down and I don't wanna infect someone else.
