| Almost everyone have tried to define the blues,almost everyone have been asked,"what are the blues?" Simply put,the blues is a joyous way of coping with pain and sorrow,a way to express the intimate feeling of being in love and being loved in return.The blues is lamenting over a love one,the anguish of having too much month left over after the pay checks are gone.The blues is a state of being, a state of conditions.Blues legend Johnny Shines once said,"the blues is all about life.".Soul singer Garland Green may have described the blues best when he said,"it is a backdoor world when your front money is gone".If you ever come down with a severe case of the blues,and you just want them to leave,try blues great Travis"The Moonchild"Haddix remedy,pretend that the blues is a "Jawbreaker."
