R&P -- favorite song with "blues" in the title?
Every good band has a song called "____ Blues" (insert anything, like "dust bunny", "potato chip," or "penis."). It's like an unwritten law. There's about a million to choose from, but what's YOUR favorite?
(Note; it doesn't have to be blues at all, just something with blues in the title.)
For me, I have three: Mr E's Beautiful Blues (Untitled) by Eels, Aeroplane Blues by Black Keys, and Land Locked Blues by Bright Eyes. In the words of a text message, "hbu?"

Bell Bottom Blues
Maybe it's not my favorite song with blues in the title, but it's a good sonfg and it was the first song to pop into my head.
I prefer the original recording Derek and the Dominoes recording. This is a somewhat slower live version. When it comes to slow, heartfelt blues songs, Eric Clapton is one of the very finest.

I'm working today
I sing all the time, but never in front of an audience. Some people tell me I sing pretty good, others tell me to keep my day job.
I like reggae, but I don't know a lot about real ska. There were some "third wave" Ska influenced punk bands that I liked in the 1990s, like Sublime, No Doubt and Reel Big Fish. They were not true ska bands, but that is about as close as I got to ska music, other than listening to classic Reggae artists like the Wailers, Burning Spear, etc..,
FYI: most of the so called, "Ska" bands of the 1990s were not true Ska. They were a mix of rock, punk rock and Ska. The 1990s period was the third major movement in the evolution of Ska music. So, that music is called "third wave Ska", to differentiate it from traditional Ska, which many people who discovered "Ska" in the 90s have never even heard. Simply calling those 90s bands "Ska", is sort of like calling The Police a Reggae band. They were most definitely Reggae influenced, but The Police were by no means a Reggae band
Original Ska (through the late 60s)

I was reading the newspaper online and looking for something on craigslist and just came by here to see what's going on. Actually, I don't usually do much Y!A on weekends, except sometimes when it's cold or rainy. It's more fun than housework, laundry and shopping :P
I sing some blues, but I'm not a growler.
I'm not real familiar with ska to be honest.
