Groove On The Wireless #22 [Sad Song for bad times]


 Doctor is disgruntled from his most recent futile march, and the pusillanimous Trade Union leaders who do little except cheerlead Labour as they drag us into debt oblivion.

Not for the first time he escapes into music and ends up playing the saddest song in the world.  It’s not all blues – but there is some in here.  As someone says you swim back up the music river long enough and you get to this scene; one black man sitting on a stool playing a one stringed instrument and he’s the guy who started everything, rock & roll started right there with one string Sam, I pity the fool who thinks otherwise.
