Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 09, 2024

“The Sunny Day Blues.” A true classic.

Mildred refuses to admit that she brings Arthur down.

he’s with you … so … go figure shrug

It’s never too nice a day for the blues.

When blues is all ya know, blues is what ya play! Ever try to play Devil’s Dream on a harp (harmonica)? Look it up and you’ll see what I mean.

When ya gotta sing the blues ya gotta sing the blues…..

Arthur: “If that’s how you feel, maybe it’s a nice day for you to take a walk.”

Such a novice. You don’t wear blue when you’re singing the blues.

It’s going to be a nice sunny day here.

Good morning Balladeers!

“Hey! You’re the one who laid out this suit!” ☺

“It’s my birthday and I’ll play ‘Nobody knows the candles I’ve seen’ if I want to.”

looks like he’s munching on a granola bar!

Arthur is a blues brother…

Arthur’s music playing is fine, it’s his gaudy blue suit that’s inappropriate.

“Oh yeah? I thik I got muh tung cot in thith ting!”

Shoulda brought the banjo.

Howlin’ Wolf has nothing to fear from the likes of Arthur.

No, it isn’t. If you listen to really good blues on a bad day, you’re likely to kill yourself. :(

Love the shades, but they match her dress better. :)

She could use a little Jan and Dean.

Willie Brown: The blues ain’t nothin’ but a good man feelin’ bad, thinkin’ ’bout the woman he once was with.

Crossroads (1986)

Well, Arthur is wearing a blue suit, so the blues seems appropriate.

Arthur only knows the blues. Besides, a jig can be really annoying to some people.

again she’s harpin’ ’bout his harp…

No day is too nice for the blues. The Blues can lift you up if you’re down
