Child of Europe living in South East Asia. I like to discover new and obscure music, watching movies, and reading. I really don't care about professional sports.

I am happy to see this young lady upholding the torch of the blues in such fine way. The song was first recorded in 1929 by Blind Blake to the best of my knowledge. https://youtu.be/hwnZlR7w-Bg?is=J2cTa_tFrU87HJeH02 Nov 2026 10:52 +0000at://did:plc:4xtb35zlyeebbdhmncrmtllc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzd5srhjms2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/danielruchti.bsky.social/post/3mz7y2evqrs2oNina sings the blues. https://youtu.be/0tllTDwQKV8?is=spq7Vzm8i0CyIa9w01 Nov 2026 04:31 +0000at://did:plc:4xtb35zlyeebbdhmncrmtllc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz7y2evqrs2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/danielruchti.bsky.social/post/3mz67atmrg22rLike every year I think of Roky Erickson tonight, who fought more than enough demons in his lifetime.
