Chapter 6 - Old Blues

It's summertime.

People are playing their music on load speakers outside their houses while their family runs around the yard and neighborhood.

I don't hate blues but I don't like it either.

Old Blues is the music that is played at night.

Once the sun goes down it's time for the kids to go in the house but the parties not over for the adults.

The old people sit in the yard at a table playing dominoes, cards, drinking ...

Old couples dancing on each other

Playing that old Blues.

Makes me feel like im at a juke joint in the 1950s.
