    Roscoe and Willie had a big crowd down to the Memorial Day blues 57 festival. Roscoe and Willie had everyone dancing and singing the blues. Some of the most famous blues singers were there.

    Willie: This is what we always wanted to do and talked about doing, Rosco. Having a union of blues entertainers.

    Rosco: Yeah, it should help radio business.

    Willie: And we shouldn't have to worry about those old so-called promoters and managers and people in the record business.

    Rosco: We ain't the record business, but we can help the musicians get work and get paid performing.

    Willie: That's right bossman.

    But Rosco and Willie ran into some problems with the memorial day blues festival. One of their greatest entertainers on the list didn't show up. A big fight broke out indoors and Rosco and Willie got written up for owing money. All kinds of things were happening, but in the end Rosco and Willie managed to keep the music going and they entertaind the crowd themselves. They were able to pull off a successful festival that left everyone feeling happy and satisfied. The experience taught them to always be prepared for the unexpected in the world of event planning.

    Soon the festival was over.

    Rosco: It was all your idea! You almost got us shut down tonight.

    Willie: You mean we, Rosco. We! You see, that's how lies get out. Our number one entertainer didn't show up.

    Rosco: But we took care of that.

    Willie: There you go! We!

    Intro and podcast vocals by: Gail Nobles
    Song by: Aretha Franklin
    Song: Today I Sing the Blues

    Today I Sing the Blues" is a song written by Curtis Lewis and performed by Aretha Franklin. The song reached number 10 on the U.S. R&B chart in 1960.The song appeared on her 1961 album, Aretha.

    The lyrics say: Without a word of warning
    The blues walked in this morning
    And circled around my lonely room
    I didn't know why I had that sad and lonely feeling
    Until my baby called and said we we're through, ooh
    For yesterday, this time
    I sang a love story
    But today, I'm singing the blues …

    The lyrics start off in a very creative way. The writer talks about the blues like it's a person. That's called personification. Aretha Franklin sang the song with her own unique soulful sound.

    Thank you for listening to Podcast and Blues. I'm Gail Nobles.
