Notes:
Today marks the first day I broke 100 songs.
The most interesting thing I heard today was "Blue Train" by John Coltrane followed by "Blue Velvet" by Bobby Vinton.
I owe and Elvis fans an apology, because I heard both Elvis' and Carl Perkins doing "Blue Suede Shoes" today, and Carl Perkins' version is far better. 
I heard 53 songs today that started with the letters "blue" - which includes all "blues" songs, and also wrapped up the last nine "black" songs.
The end of the day was represented by some great guitarists:
  • Brian May from Queen - Bohemian Rhapsony
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan - Boilermaker
  • Jimi Hendrix - Bold as Love
  • Joe Walsh - The Bomber
Also, I'd like to say hello to my first three followers!  Thanks for reading!
