Two Photos and Some Mississippi Delta Blues

 

Downtown Calgary 
at about 13:00 
on the First of April, 2026


Today I did some retail therapy
bought a new, perfectly simple but stylish/attractive ensemble
although the pants feel a bit like being inside a circus tent;
I think I look maybe a little like a combination of
Maggie Cheung in In the Mood for Love (2000)
and Ben Gazzara in Saint Jack (1979)




Charlie Patton, "Shake It and Break It"
No, fam, it ain't just your steam-powered imagination(s)
this 1929 platter by the great guitar-swallowing delta master
consists of Patton bragging for the entire duration of the song
about the strength and durability of his member
