Esta semana es una ocasión especial para la Casa y hemos organizado una fiesta/rumba para nuestros amigos y "habitués" y vamos a tirar la casa por la ventana, porque tenemos un festejo muy especial (se dice el pecado pero no el/la pecador@) a pesar de que algunos socios han torcido la jeta, a regañadientes han aceptado una canilla libre/barra abierta para las primeras 100 (cien) personas que lleguen al Bar y a los poseedores de las invitaciones especiales (que se están enviando) pero SOLO desde las 6 de la tarde, hasta las 12 de la noche, luego, poniendo estaba la gansa, my friends... Las bebidas de la fiesta serán: los clásicos: Tom Collins (ron con coca-cola), Bloody Mary, Fresitas (casero), y un clásico de la casa: el guapachoso Coco Loco. Las demás acristaladas bebidas, my loving friends, los socios obligan a gatillarlas... Sorry... Ah! También se repartirá "al gratín" la cerveza roja de Club Colombia (que no es poco!). Habrá serpentinas, el papel picado/confetti, cornetitas, pitos/silbatos con trompita, y sombreritos, y la decoración en azules metalizados, así que para que las selfies salgan bonitas evita traer ropa azul o negra. ¿Comida? Nahhh, ¿pa'qué? Tampoooco, algo les vamos a dar! Quedan invitados.

01. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Summertime
Tema perteneciente a la ópera ligera Porgy and Bess, de George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin y Duboise Heyward. La mejor cantante de la historia música grabada en el mejor momento de su voz, los 40 años, graba esta monumental versión del clásico de Gershwin, rodeada por un equipo muy inspirado, comenzando por su contraparte vocal y trompetista Louis Armstrong, con los arreglos muy emotivos y ajustadísimos de Russell García y bellamente producida por el sumamente criterioso Norman Granz, dueño del sello Verve Records. Por supuesto que los tarados de la Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide solo le darán 3/5 estrellas, cuando la organización de los Grammy's le otorgará en el 2001, un premio de su Hall de la Fama. Todo dicho.
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
02. Billie Holiday - The Blues Are Brewin'
Escrita por Louis Alter y Eddie De Lange, grabada por Lady Day, tal era su apodo, el 27/12/1946 para el sello Decca, en una época que se grababan simples/sencillos continuadamente.
When the moon's kinda dreamy
Starry eyed and dreamy
And nights are luscious and long
If you're kinda lonely
All by you're only
Then nothin' but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'
When the wind through the window
Blows across your pillow
And tells you sleepin' is wrong
If love goes a thirsting
Till you feel like bursting
Then nothing but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'
Suppose you want somebody
But you ain't got nobody
You only get a gleam in your eyes
Till somebody's found you
And put their lovin' arms around you
You got the feelin' you want to die
But when the Lord up above you
Send's someone to love you
The blues are something you loose
You're so busy doing
The things that you're doing
That love ain't got no time
For brewin' the blues
But when the Lord up above you
Send's someone to love you
The blues are something you loose
You're so busy doing
The things that you're doing
That love ain't got no time
For brewin' the blues
The blues
03. Aretha Franklin - Dr Feelgood (Love Is A Serious Business)
Escrita por la misma Aretha y Ted White apareció en el álbum I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967), pero este video corresponde al The Legendary Concertgebouw Concert, Amsterdam, 1968.
Always
Sittin' around me and my man
I don't want nobody
Always
Sittin' right there
Lookin' at me and that man
Be it my mother, my brother or my sister
Would you believe, I'll get up, put on some clothes
Go out and help you find somebody for dissolving that pain
Yes I will
Now I don't mind company
Because company's alright with me
Every once in a while,
Yes it is, ah
I tell you I don't mind company
Because company's alright with me
Every once in a while,
Yeah
But oh, when me and that man get to lovin'
I tell you girls
I dig you but I just don't have time
To sit and chit and sit and chit-chat and smile
Don't send me no doctor
Fillin' me up with all of those pills
I got me a man named Doctor Feelgood
And oh, yeah, that man takes me off all o' my pains and my ills
His name is
Doctor Feelgood in the mornin'
And taking care of business
Is really this man's gain
And after one visit to Doctor Feelgood
You'll understand why Feelgood is his name
Oh, yeah, oh good God of mine
And the man sure makes me feel real, good

05. Janis Joplin - Piece Of My Heart
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah!

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!

05. Janis Joplin - Piece Of My Heart
Aparece en el disco Cheap Thrills (1968) que ya se presentó la semana pasada, con un tema con mucho sentimiento. Esta vez subsiguiendo a su admirada Big Mama en el play-list.
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah!
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't
right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at
night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!
Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
06. Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Didn't It Rain
Ugh, compa! Este escenario está que se nos viene al piso de tanto poder que estamos acumulando! Esta GRAN guitarrista y cantante, nacida Rosetta Nubin, (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973), sus padres ambos fueron cantantes, su madre, quien la crió y le dio su apellido, era predicadora bautista (de ahí su "Sister)", y si bien nació en Arkansas en una plantación algodonera, la "palabra" la fue llevando a diversos lugares. Rosetta fue niña prodigio a los 4 años cantando y tocando la guitarra, presentándose como Little Rosetta Nubin. El apellido Tharpe lo adquirió de su primer esposo, y aunque se casó varias veces lo mantuvo. Apodada "the original soul sister" y "the godmother of rock and roll", influenció a músicos del temprano rock and roll, Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley y Jerry Lee Lewis, entre otros. Esta presentación pertenece al DVD 'The American Folk Blues Festival: The British Tours' de 1964.

There was no land no where in sight

All day all night how it rained how it rained
Didn't it rain children

Some at the window some at the door

No no said Noah no no my friends
The nature got to keep you can't get in
I told you I told you a long time ago
You wouldn't hear me you disobey me
Lord send the angel a warning to you
It began to rain and now you are through
Well it rained forty days
Forty nights without stopping
Noah was glad
When the rain stopped dropping
Knock at the window knock at the door
Come on brother Noah
Can't you take any more

07. Celeste Carballo - Mi ultimo blues
En este play-list no podía faltar el crédito local, en este caso con, tal vez, su mejor disco, el primero, en el que el blues que ejecuta es sencillo y directo, sin contaminaciones comerciales de productores o representantes; justamente, viendo la carrera de todas las otras mujeres, uno puede ver que se han centrado en una estética determinada y listo, por supuesto que siempre uno ve que hay otras cositas, pero siempre eventuales. Estas artistas siempre se muestran focalizadas ¡Y no jodemos más!. El tema aparece en su primer trabajo Me vuelvo cada día más loca (1982)
08. Samantha Fish - Runaway (2013)
Este Runaway forma parte del álbum del mismo nombre de 2011. Sammy si bien no canta como Janis, but...She Got the Blues! dirían los viejos bluseros, y como guitarrista es todavía mejor que como cantante! Con "Samantita" el futuro del blues está asegurado, ojalá llegue a ocupar con el tiempo el lugar de Rosetta. Su versión de I Put A Spell On You de 4 min. es fuerte también y muy bien expresada con la viola. Hasta ahora ha sacado 3 discos solistas y otros tantos en colaboración. Nacida el 30 de enero de 1989, tiene 27 años... es una edad jodida para los músicos... esperemos que pueda cumplir los 28. Dios la proteja.
09. Kathi McDonald - Guilty
Temazo de Randy Newman, con una versión indestructible de Joe Cocker del '73. Esta enjoyada versión gracias a los gorjeos de este ruiseñor blusero, es registrada el 4 de julio de 2009. ¿Pero quién es Kathi McDonald, a todo esto? Una chica demasiado buena para la Industria, demasiado efectiva para la competencia a la que sirvió fielmente. Algunos le colgaron el sambenito de "imitadora de Janis" y se la clavaron, otro caso similar, pero menos grave, de última, al de Robin Trower que le colgaron el sambenito de "imitador de Hendrix", pero con el tiempo poco a poco se lo fueron quitando, el mismo Robert Fripp dijo de él que su estilo ya era propio y resaltó su admiración. Kathi, si bien ha sido la favorita de muchos músicos, finalmente nunca pudo despegar por derecho propio (por lo menos le hubiese tocado en suerte la estrella de Eric Clapton, je!)
Kathryn Marie "Kathi" McDonald (September 25, 1948 – October 3, 2012) la mejor corista de los últimos 40 años, que trabajó para gente como los Rolling Stones, Ike y Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Nils Lofgren, Leon Russell, Freddie King, Betty Davis, Rita Coolidge, Long John Baldry, The Ponter Sisters y hasta la misma Big Brother & the Holding Company (la banda de Janis Joplin) entre otros. En sus 64 años apenas pudo grabar un puñado discos solistas.
Yes, baby, I been drinkin'
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Til I was back in your arms again
Guilty, baby I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?
You know, you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
Nota: al buscar los datos para el segmento de Kathi, me encontré con la desagradable sorpresa de su deceso, lo cual me ha dejado tan desolado como cuando me enteré de la reciente muerte del otro "kapo" Joe Cocker. Debe estar mejor al lado del Señor y alejada de este injusto mundo.
10. Sippie Wallace - Women Be Wise
Y para que sigamos festejando y no decaiga, Si, si, sí! Sippie para todo el mundoooo! El último brindis en pantalla para esta chica de la 3a. edad, que les da un sabio consejo a nuestras chicas más jóvenes:
No le hagas publicidad a tu hombre, porque tus propias amigas te lo pueden robar!!!!!! ¿Capische???
Sippie Wallace (nacida Beulah Thomas, 1 de nov. 1898 – 1 de nov. 1986, sí murió el día de su 88° cumpleaños) de jovencita bautizada como "The Texas Nightingale" (el ruiseñor de Texas) Entre los 25 y 29 años grabó 40 temas, acompañada por la plana mayor de la época: Armstrong, S. Bechet, K. Oliver, C. Williams y considerada en el mismo renglón que sus contemporáneas: Bessie, Ma, Ida Cox y Alberta Hunter. Desde los años 30's hasta su los 60's se dedicó a la actividad musical religiosa, como organista, cantante, directora de coros, etc. Desde el '66 hasta su muerte retoma su carrera en forma muy activa. Este video forma parte también del The American Folk Blues Festival. En su come-back grabará para Alligator Records el álbum Women Be Wise (1966)
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do
Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good
They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, she changes clothes 3 times a day
What do you think she's doing now, while you're so far away
She's loving your man in your own damn bed
You better call for the doctor, mama, try to investigate your head
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around, girl, telling all your secrets,
Telling all those good things he really can do
If you talk about your baby, you tell me he's so fine
Lord honey, I just might sneek up and try to make him mine
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't be no fool, don't advertise your man (baby don't do it)
