Hey! Hey! That’s what the Blues singers say. Singing minor melodies They laugh, Hey! Hey! from "Blues Fantasy" by Langston Hughes, 1926 maybe it's a song six centuries old. maybe it's a poem only ninety-nine years young. maybe it's the croaking of a bird whose species has been crowing that same call for seventeen million years. perhaps the wurlitzer organ-made calls of birds which never existed. maybe it's a song caught on yesterday's breeze, sung sweetly, freshly now, in this present moment. or maybe, still, it is a language you do not speak but the words of which you still understand. the feeling. that, that is the blues. the folk. the country. the MUSIC. so let's say HEY! HEY! and join the unfolding chorus. there's a spot right near the front, just for you! we've been waiting eagerly for your voice to join ours.
