Elvin Bishop!

http://elvinbishopmusic.com Elvin performing at the 30th Annual Piedmont Blues Preservation Society Blues Festival. I have helped by raising funds many years ago to help keep the blues alive. I am still attending the event.

I learned about Elvin 41 years ago. That is a few years. It is actually hard to believe. Time goes by so fast. I have lived pretty well and I am glad we are still walking on the planet! Go listen to this music. It is great stuff even four decades later. Yes it is.

I must have been through about a million girls
I’d love ’em and I’d leave them alone
I didn’t care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
It used to be when I’d see a girl that I liked
I’d get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I’d just tear out that page
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
But I’ve been strong this time baby
And guess what I’m in love, I’m in love
Lord have mercy

Elvin Bishop. When I was 18 years old I think I wore the grooves off his records.
