[MUSIC] The Blues singers in many ways, the counterpart of the preacher. On Saturday night the Blues singer performed at house parties, for dancers and many of those same dancers might come to church the next morning to hear the preacher. So there's often a competition between sacred and secular worlds. The preacher would say to his congregation it's wrong, to listen to the Blues and dance on Saturday night. It's not the way of the Lord. Where as the blues singer would say, we just tell the truth the way it is. We don't preach one message on Sunday, and then go out on Monday. And have a drink and chase women. So there is a long history of division within the black community between the Church and the Blues. So when we look at the Blues, we see a powerful voice that's connected to the Church. Because every Blues singer was, as a child, someone who attended Church services including BB King who began singing gospel music and later changed to the Blues. >> My mother had started me singing spirituals when I was about four years old with her, in church. And after she passed, when I was nine, I continued to sing spirituals, and we started a little group I guess, when I was about ten or 11, a little quartet. And we would use the guitar to tune us up. But we could not go into, the Baptist church where we were singing at because of the guitar, if that makes any sense to you. And my uncle was married to a sanctified preacher's sister. [LAUGH] And they had an old Southern custom that the adults would have dinner first, and then the kids would eat. So, this preacher had a custom of laying his guitar on the bed while they go, while they go and eat. And soon as they would close the kitchen door right out the bed I would go. So finally one day he caught me but he didn't do what I thought he was going to do. Instead of balling me out about he showed me three chords. One of them was [SOUND] C chord. The other one [MUSIC], an F chord. And then, [MUSIC],. a G chord. So, that was 38 years ago. I still playing those three chords. [LAUGH]
