So I just watched the new Ma Rainey movie on Netflix.
August Wilson wrote the play where he worked - in a grill restaurant nearby the college that my dad attended. At least that is the rumor I heard.
The play or movie has Ma Rainey explaining that contrary to what White People think - the blues is not to make people feel happy. Rather the blues is the truth of reality.
We know this now to be true via noncommutative phase logic.

I didn't know that Besse Smith and Ma Rainey were lovers.

Jim told me that he had been given the chance to possibly play blues harmonica for Koko Taylor.
Instead he became a qigong master.
When I was too young to know better my high school buddy drive me to the southside of Chicago - we were on the pursuit of real blues music. We saw a bar with a home-made cardboard sign, "Blues music."
When we went in - it seemed not an exaggeration to assume we had been the first white patrons there - but we had a couple dances with some ladies and we had nice conservation with the men. And then we were given FREE beer - a six pack - and sent off on our way.
We were so naive and stupid that we attempted to return a second time with some beer left over. And they just kicked us out like we were completely BONKERS. It was hilarious.
That was in 1988 or 1989.

For the Bushmen healing dancers, the word most similar to duende, or life force, is n/om
(Keeney 1999, 2003). It is also arguably equivalent to kundalini, chi or holy spirit. One could say it is related to the unnamable thing that gives jazz its swing and blues its soul. Though often depicted as ‘energy,’ n/om is regarded by Bushmen as the amplified emotion that arises from a heart awakening (Keeney 1999, 2003).
