Amen Musical Bluesy Sis_tahs & Brothers Lets Make It Happen!! ;-) Ronnie Beaton - Englewood, New Jersey I am so glad to be a part of this group (Petition to declare an International BLUES MUSIC DAY) in particular. Most people do not realize what a vital part of all music in the 20th century, and now in the 21st century can be attributed to those gentlemen of the Mississippi Delta and their ancestors As a musician, singer and songwriter, I owe the blues a lot. Jan Jenson I'm HAPPY to sign this petition declaring an international BLUES MUSIC DAY!! I say make it EVERY YEAR! I'm a photographer and got hooked on blues hanging out at the old JJ's Blues Cafe in Mt. View, CA with the likes of John Lee Hooker, Deacon Jones, Gary Smith, Andy Just, Charlie Musselwhite, Ron Thompson and MANY other currently "HUGE" blues and jazz musicians - while they were just getting started in the mid 80's! James F. McBride - Los Angeles, California Blues definitely needs more recognition because if you look at the way it is treated in the charts it is a step child, not a grandfather of American music. Blues is part folk, part jazz, part rock, and part country. It is a river that winds through all American music from Broadway to the bijou. Ray Charles and "Gatemouth" Brown proved it was not just guitar blues. And the world has embarrassed it in all its many many forms. An International Blues Music Day is a great idea. Susan Heymans Heymans - DeKalb, Illinois Every single day could be International Blues Music Day, perhaps. I go out every night in Denver for live music, and I only go out for blues.
