As an extra added bonus I think right here is a great place to describe how good these musicians who accompany Shane are. Tony Sena and Danny Timms both were signed to Labels when they 18 years of age. Tony Sena was on Joshua and Danny Times had…<\/p>\n

The actual musician line up for this particular recording consists of Tony Sena<\/em> performing on a \u00be scale Yamaha acoustic guitar, Danny Timms<\/em> jamming on an Estey Royal spinet upright piano and Shane O\u2019Brien<\/em> plucking a Martin D28 acoustic guitar and singing an improvised vocal line.<\/p>\n

Now, about the song itself. \u00a0I am not sure about elsewhere in this great country, but here in\u00a0\u00a0 Southern California there are plenty of musicians of the highest caliber. To accommodate all this great talent there is many local establishments feature Open Mic jams in a variety of venues Monday-Thursday Nights<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of us musicians, who are in between gigs, try our best to keep our chops up by attending these publicized open jams. For us, let\u2019s say who play our own brand of Blues or variety of Blues Rock or whatever the Genre we fit in, things can get a little touchy emotionally. I mean to refer to those thin skinned types of Artist displaying his or her original written music especially. Imagine this: You show up early, sign in on a piece of blank paper if you can find it, and wait for your name to be called so you too can join on stage whom ever and what ever band situation the host puts you into. Also, we can\u2019t worry about when, with whom, or who will direct the jam as it happens or even if we are called upon to participate. These gatherings tend to be very cliquish in nature and that\u2019s just the way it is, always has been, and always will be too… Hence forth the creation of this song titled The Bluesman<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you hear the lyrics to this song\u2019s story line, you may notice the scene develops with a man who really can\u2019t get along in life shining as a standout but he does accept his lot in life because he knows in the end he is blessed. \u201cThe Sun Shines on My Back Door …\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He is also dirt broke and most likely living from place to place. He can\u2019t afford a phone call and wouldn\u2019t know who to call for help anyway. and someone who plays the Blues. He performs his own brand of music; very personal to him are his blues stories\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

The third verse is somewhat of a fantasy this self proclaimed bluesman dreams up. He acquires a Cadillac Coupe De Ville and together with his own brand of blues songs, he is now automatically \u00a0\u00a0invited to participate on stage within the circle of the best bluesmen in the world. These Black Musicians are known as the Central Street Blues All Star Band<\/em> from South Los Angeles. Innovators of this genre of American music, they are the stand out musicians of the West Coast blues world. He has a standing invitation to jam with them at every gathering and won\u2019t have to wait or ever be disappointed by not being called up to play, or put in stage situations that won\u2019t allow this guy to share his language of music. Satisfaction guaranteed every time\u2026 Ah, the life of The Bluesman\u2026<\/p>\n
