These are few selections of two my favourite legends, Begum Akhtar and Mehndi Hasan.  I dedicate this post to Prachi Dublay, who has been indeed blessed by both. “Dostu, just a token of remembrance from Big Brother Free. May you scale higher peaks than these legends.”

Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Here is some brilliant outstanding guitar work by blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. The guy is profusely talented. During live shows, as in this one, he often plays portions of this song behind his back, arousing an enthusiastic crowd response. Stylistically, “Texas Flood” is structured around the common three chord blues progression. The lyrics are given below but are inconsequential here. I dedicate this post to another talented person, my first pal on iLand, Aria, with whom I take the pleasant liberty of posing as a big brother. May this brilliant blues number drive all your blues away, Aria..:)




The lyrics are below :

Well theres floodin down in texas….all of the telephone lines are down
Well theres floodin down in texas….all of the telephone lines are down
And Ive been tryin to call my baby….lord and I cant get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin in….man Im standin out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin in….man Im standin out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin….man its about to drive poor me insane

Well Im leavin you baby….lord and Im goin back home to stay
Well Im leavin you baby….lord and Im goin back home to stay
Well back home I know floods and tornados….baby the sun shines every day
