Scrapper Blackwell & Tommy Johnson

These two names Scrapper Blackwell and Tommy Johnson are synonymous with blues and their name will go down in history for their achievements.

Tommy in particular was barely 18 years old when he released canned heat blues with his accompanying brother LeDell which was being playing hard in the jukes at the time. A fantastic sense of rhythm and timing and amazing vocal range were simply a wonder in their own right.

A traditionalist when it comes to structures and verses he also liked to experiment and this was of particular noteon Big Road Blues with Isham Bracey.

Scrapper Blackwell is arguably one of the most unrated and unsong hero’s the blues has ever seen or heard. He shared the spotlight with Leroy Carr and the pair are best known for their rapport and yet Scrapper still went on to make multiple solo records of his own.

The era of the 1920’s was arguably one of the most important times for the evolution of blues music and these two were being listened to by fans everywhere.

You can feel free to click the links at the top of the article where you will be able to find out more about these two marvelous musicians, we just wanted to set the ball rolling to introduce you to these these 2 figures from the past and to whet your appetite for early (or old school) blues music that still stands the test of time today.

Driving Lessons

Picking a local driving lessons in Ellesmere Port (https://www.quailsdrive.co.uk/driving-lessons-ellesmere-port/) or driving lesson in Wirral (Quails) (for example) can be a real headache and we recommend you follow the link to Quail’s here above for an example of how to do it just right.

You need a competent and friendly instructor that will put you at ease during you time learning to drive. You also must ensure that you pass your theory test and practical driving test before you are able to legally and safely drive on the roads in the UK. This safety bit is really important because any muppet can learn to drive but only the good ones do it safely.

My dad used to say to me “you have to drive with your eyes in your ass” and he was right. He didn’t worry about me, he worried about all of the idiot drivers on the road and by the way my dad was a grade 6 driving instructor so he knew a thing or two when it came to driving and how to teach people how to drive.

Drive defensivly, drive as if you were about to have an accident and above all try to relax be confident without being an idiot. Look far ahead in the road and take action well in advance before any incident occurrs and you can really only do this if you are concentrating on the road and on what you and the other road users are doing.

It seems that most young drivers passing their test these days don’t care and can’t wait to see how many mate they can squeeze inside their car, how loud the stereo can go and how fast they can go without crashing in 30mph zones.

So with all of this nonsense in mind it’s worth saying again…learn to drive safely and with the right driving instructor and my recommendations for driving lessons in Ellesmere Port and Wirral are made above.

Glass Houses – All Year Round

They say people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones especially if you are the owner of a company such as https://pureconservatories.co.uk/ who specialise in solid roof conservatories that you can use when it is hot or cold.

Breaking glass in a conservatory is a big deal, it’s not like just breaking a window which you can board up because it means that you literally cannot use the room until a solution is found. If the window is the room you face the additional issue of rain pouring in through the gap.

If you have decided to put a carpet in your additional living space then trying to get glass out of a carpet can be a nightmare and you may even find yourself having to use a local Liverpool carpet cleaning company to get the job properly, it’s not like cleaning an oven where the mess is out of sight.

Is a glass house scenario like life itself? If you find yourself in a situation that requires kid gloves to be worn then do not throw comments around if you are not prepared to stand by everything you say and do, this is a simple rule of life that a lot of people seem to forget.
