Blues. Used to busk. Thankyou for looking March 2021. Love/art/blues/Rob. So, musical diary

Pardon? How can I interview me? Some streets are better than others? Some highways are brighter than others. Time of day, find a state of mind, imagination, TV, 1920s. I write about love, lost or found, hopefully honestly inspired by love, and try to play better for that. When younger protested about behaviours on my radar, and of course, being a simple artist, surfing the great times I imagine I had in another life, or maybe one day this one!

Story behind the song

Also called Little Lady Voodoo or Love Turns To Dust. Energy.

Lyrics

Voodoo Child

here come the mumbo jumbo
deep in my swamp
here come little lady voodoo
what does she want

here come the mad magician
shaking his rattle  bad
the tail feather highness
and his knuckle bag

rattle is hollow
and the snakes are cruel

don't know these people   
don't know them at all
they've been chasing my soul
all over jungle town
she gotta be on the next bit
of what's going down

and I'm hellbound 

chest bone heaving    still attached to me
 back    is full of quivers     like a disease
no-one cry for me 
  running          they  try and   chop me off
still   attached to the head bone
 they  can't get enough


if you don't like it  tough

I'm the sacrifice
on the high alter  there
I'm the slave to fortune
of bad stranger   dare

I'm the bloody  eye in the mask
for the fire   above
I'm a flicker in the flame
as love  turns to dust
