with a career spanning over three
decades bob walsh serves as a bridge
between the st. lawrence and the
Mississippi rivers hi I’m Rebecca
Brayton and welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re speaking with this blues man
so when did you begin getting interested
in and playing music apparently when I
was born I screamed out that quite a lot
and that was my blue first blues number
many years later you know there’s an
opportunity to get to get free beer in
the bar so I used to bring my guitar
from time to time and next thing you
know they were hiring who were and are
your biggest influences back in those
days I guess just prior to the Beatles
and The Beatles themselves playing
country country music I guess Buck Owens
and things like that that’s what we used
to play my memory kids what do you call
the blues as everybody knows that the
blue sir byproduct of slavery and what
happened down south and that’s where the
news came from doll my mom I always had
it my ear turned a little
a little more so when when I heard ray
charles and and louis armstrong and
things like that and for some odd reason
that that appealed to me away more than
whatever else whether it be frank
sinatra whatever else was popular at the
nose days
what other styles of music are
influenced by the blues well basically
rock and roll all this is all from there
take the beginnings of people like the
Rolling Stones and led zeppelin through
their first songs and there’s always a
tinge of Robert Johnson or say some of
the old you wouldn’t got their songs
basically blues players do you lend any
credence to the idea that to sing the
blues you have to be miserable you have
to be miserable no but under have an
understanding of it for sure because
otherwise it just like anything else
will just fly by you the minute you hit
on the ass at your birth is reason
enough to have the blues because you
were in that comfortable comfortable
place which was your mother’s womb and
the minute they took you out of there
it’s revolt from that time on what the
blues transpires is the message is not
being well off with the surroundings or
whatever mess you’ve gotten yourself
into basically thank you very much thank
you very much
Lord Lord hammers it
