I'm almost 80...as a kid I used to listen to blues out in the barn while I Milked the sweet natured Guernsey cow 'Agnus'... she liked my music. My parents were not blues lovers and wondered why their little boy was attracted...stayed up late at night with the AM radio and heard stuff coming from far away... had a long wire antenna. Turned into a Ham Radio geek... and now a blues guitar fanatic.

I would have liked to have been there. Oscar Peterson has been a favorite jazz musician of mine and Ry Cooder a favorite all-round musician, artist, composer, arranger and explorer. Funny story of his parents reaction to his early enthusiastic explorations into a genre his young self saw as something exceedingly good and full of assertion of life against all opposition. How could they question this as not being good? He knew they were not right, did not have the full story. So Ry went onward.

Reminds me of a quote from bandleader, composer and Ellington scholar David Berger that has stuck with me over the years that I copy here: "He was a very spiritual man, but his music is an expression of all the sides of Duke Ellington," Berger says. "He didn't compartmentalize. That's the beauty of his music. In his sacred music there is the profane. And in his profane music there is the sacred." With Ry's exploration of life's expression found in various places, refusing really to be compartmented into some box. "Hey, let us out" this song says, there is more to life than following some formula or notion of being polite when there is so much to be said.

I can remember - back in the dark ages - seeing Ry's name on an odd "kinda"- Rolling Stones record called "Jamming With Edward." I saw a Ry Cooder record in a shop that had the song, "Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer," which was a hit in WW2 that I once heard my Mom singing. So I bought it. That's when I learned something about Ry Cooder - that he likes to have fun with the songs on his albums, and with people's expectations. The song was, needless to say, not what I expected(for a good example of this, listen to the old Ike and Tina Turner hit, "I Think It's Going To Work Out Fine" from Ry's album "Bop 'Til You Drop) - the rhythm seemed wrong. Ry is a woefully under appreciated US National Treasure - check him out as much as you can. Thanks for posting this.

It's funny to me to hear Ry reminisce about his parents reaction to hearing him play the Big Joe Williams record on the family phonograph. When I was a teenager in the early '70s, Ry performed on a Detroit television show called "Tubeworks", that featured "underground" music. Ry played the instrumental piece, "Dark is the Night" by Blind Willie Johnson on slide guitar. I had never heard anything like that and was totally mesmerized. My dad was sitting with me, and at the end of the performance I looked at him with a sense of astonishment over the soulful beauty of the song we had just heard. I was even more astonished when my dad made a face similar to the one that Ry imitated from his own dad, and said, "You call that music?" I've been a big fan of Ry ever since.

I consider myself lucky indeed that my Mom shared with me that once, before WW2, her folks elbowed her as she listened to some swing music when she was a teenager, and said, "How can you listen to that noise?" At the time, I was learning to play guitar(and listening to a beginning guitar player can surely be a horrible experience). I soon learned to practice in another place, where the noise wouldn't cause as much pain, and we could cuss and drink beer all we wanted. I remember feeling kinda bad when my folks bought me a big music book of "popular songs," and I finally figured out that they would like it better if I played songs they recognized when I practiced. I kinda wish that I had the Internet - and Rick Beato - to learn from then.
