The Woodland Garden (Wednesday 25th October 2023)

The garden is missing Refna, as am I of course. Luckily, things have slowed down as Autumn takes hold and I have done little out there. This acer is at its most colourful but its leaves won't last much longer, so I thought I would record them before they go.

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Rolling Stones — Rolling Stone Blues (2023)
The Stones' new album Hackney Diamonds has just been released, their first album of original material since A Bigger Bang in 2005, and their 26th studio album. The final track on the album, the only one recorded to tape, featured only Mick Jagger on vocal and harmonica and Keith Richards playing the same model of Gibson guitar that Robert Johnson used in 1936. It proved almost impossible to play until they looked at the surviving photograph of the bluesman and realised that he had put the capo on the second fret of his guitar and tuned down a full step, solving the problem with string tension.
Rolling Stone Blues was their version of Muddy Waters' Rollin' Stone, the song that gave the band their name. It came from the sleeve of a Muddy Waters album, picked in 1962 by Brian Jones in his flat during a phone call from Jazz News when asked for the name of his band. They became the Rolling Stones when the record label denied them the use of the apostrophe. It was also one of the songs that they bonded over when Keith Richards spotted Mick Jagger carrying a copy of The Best of Muddy Waters on a train.
Blues began as an oral tradition so songs were changed and adapted by each performer, so the earliest recordings varied by title and lyrical content. The earliest two were by Robert Petway as Catfish Blues and Tommy McLellan as Deep Blue Sea Blues, both in 1941. They were close friends who often performed together so each could have learned the song from the other. Muddy Waters' 1950 version was lyrically similar but was claimed as an original composition.
