PD4U might teach you something new...


"The bankruptcy of Wall Street powerhouse Lehman Bros. and the first sale of securities rival Merrill Lynch are sending shock waves through the financial system, multiplying the danger to the nation's economy."

Hmmm...sounds like the Blues to me. 
And now all these folks on "Wall Street" might understand what it means to feel like this. Ya know? And quickly now, before the feeling goes away, sit down with a musical instrument and try and write a song about it. It aint that easy now is it? Yeah boy, that's why you have got to respect the songwriters of the late 20's and thirties for all the work they have done. I mean can you imagine the "REAL" depression?! Nobody could google nothin', back in those days. You couldn't get on your mobile phone and talk to somebody about it ether. You just had to deal with it. Somehow, some way folks had to let it exist in the mind and heart without no real option to choose from. 
So take a look down this page if you got a minute. All these songs were written around that time when hope was not even a fiscal possibility. Respect your country music, your blues music, your opera and show tunes...All these musicians and artists were just simply giving  folks a remedy with no real solution. Which is what we needed back in them days.
