Re: Bluesy music.
My chromatic harmonica broke while I was attempting to learn this. 
I recall watching an interview with Larry Adler, who recounted meeting George and Ira Gershwyn as a young man. George asked him to play the Rhapsody in Blue but Adler wasn't good enough to hack it at the time, so he said "I don't like the rhapsody."
Ira wisecracked, "Say, George, we've found somebody who doesn't like the rhapsody!"

Shit happens. The older you get, the more often shit happens. So you have to try not to give a shit even when you do. Because, if you give too many shits, you've created your own shit creek and there's no way out other than swimming through the shit. Oh, and fuck.

Re: Bluesy music.
Does bluegrass count as bluesy?

Re: Bluesy music.
Well, I found the comparison quite instructive; you don't have to watch their whole rigmarole.

French … redneck … delta … blues. ("Near the delta of the Garonne, in the Médoc bayous…")
Ethnography note: any self-respecting French redneck drinks his wine from a duralex glass. Made from tempered glass they are nearly unbreakable and handed down from generation to generation.

Those who get it will get it.
Those who don't will never get anything.
