Publisher's Synopsis
A BLUES LIFE I am born and raised in Friesland, in the North of the Netherlands. When the BLUES struck me in 1972, I was 21 years of age. Now I am 65. This paperback is about those over forty years in between. A BLUES LIFE part 1, with 11 stories from a Dutch point of view and A BLUES LIFE part 2, directly from Mississippi in the deep south of the U.S.A. -A Dutchman in the Delta- covers 14 stories. I cannot read a musical note, sing, nor play a piano or a guitar. But I wrote about it: In this book you will find 25 true, short stories about the Blues and Boogie Woogie, that devilish music. English is not my native tongue. I have done my utmost to avoid mistakes.
