    I almost feel the sweat roll down my neck, hear the chirping of crickets, the buzzing of skeeters and a gator slapping the water on a dark bayou night.
    One of the very best bluesmen out there.

  • @stegususcley2655
    @stegususcley2655 Рік тому

    Ive said it several times in the past that his music is the only music that puts me back in the bayou.
    Im a city raised dude that was blessed with the chance to stay in the bayou for a good while.I spent every free moment in a flat bottom canoe,cruising slowly,quietly,respectfully in the bottom...the black water.There were more gators there than fleas on a wildcat.But,I loved the bayou,and all things in it,offering nothing but love and respect,and knowing my place in there,never to venture out of that "place".And I fully believe that because I gave all attention to,and respect too all that called the bayou home,I was accepted.And in that,I simply disappeared as an intruder,and found MY place in the bottom.
    Im back in Cleveland now,and Justins music...how I wish I could drift back into the bottom one more time,with a small mp3 player,and play his music back there.An experience that could surpass all that Ive had in my 70 years of living.
    Thank you #Justin Johnson , once again.

    "Playing the guitar is like telling the truth - you never have to worry about repeating the same [lie] if you told the truth. You don't have to pretend, or cover up. If someone asks you again, you don't have to think about it or worry about it because there it is. It's you.
    I always liked the steel guitar. I also love the guys that play the bottleneck. But I could never do it; I never made it do what I want. So every time I would pick up the guitar, I'd shake my hand and trill it a bit. For some strange reason my ears would say to me that sounds similar to what those guys were doing. I can't pick up the guitar now without doing it. So that's how I got into making my sound. It was nothing pretty. Just trying to please myself. I heard that sound.
    We are part of each other, you know. When one person is hurt, it hurts me, too. When I see their condition, I know what they feel, and I feel it. And it hurts. I'm trying to get people to see that we are our brother's keeper. Red, white, black, brown or yellow, rich or poor, we all have the blues. Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. I could play the blues and then not be blue anymore."
    B. B. King
    "Sound is the force of creation, the true whole. Music then, becomes the voice of the great cosmic oneness and therefore the optimal way to reach this final state of healing.
    Music is the language of the soul; and for two people of different nations or races to unite, there is no better means than music.
    One day, music will take its rightful place as the true religion of Mankind.
    Hazrat Inayat Khan

Thanks Joe and Justin….Thanks…

    This is so beautiful, so dark and haunting and enticing. There is an Apocalypse Now vibe to this one, as in the end of the movie, a sense of releif combined with sadness and something ancient. Maybe it's the eternal question why. At the same time I can't help thinking if this song had lyrics it would be something like freedom is a noble cause. It's the soundtrack of a movie yet to be made.
    You keep surpassing yourself, Justin, and you did it again.
