Sweet Home Chicago

I haven't been able to post since Friday, since I have been recovering from a routine Gallbladder surgery that didn't go completely smoothly.  I am doing slightly better and expecting to recover well, in time.  The parkinsonian disorder complicates situations such as this one.

I am never far from my blues music-- have been enjoying my blues CD's and was really drawn to Sweet Home Chicago after hearing a blurb of the President singing it with BB King last week.  Great song by Robert Johnson.  Here is his version:
