Actually, yesterday was, but it was also my 93rd birthday and I was feeling too tired and feeble to post. The artist for the day is one of my faves, Buddy Guy; the album is &#8220;Sweet Tea.&#8221; And it&#8217;s oh so apropos because the first song is Junior Kimbrough&#8217;s &#8220;Done Got Old.&#8221; Just an acoustic guitar and Buddy&#8217;s, I mean Mr. Guy&#8217;s voice. The rest of this album is slamming, with some unexpected production values that make it all the more hea-vay. It&#8217;s almost like Rage\/Audioslave is playing backup. Awesome.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Well I done got old<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t do the things I used to do<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause I&#8217;ma ol-old ma-an<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Well I done got old<br \/>\nWell I done got old<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t do the things I used to do<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause I done got old<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Remember the day baby<br \/>\nDone past and gone<br \/>\nThat I could love you<br \/>\nMost all night long<br \/>\nBut now things have changed<br \/>\nAn&#8217; I done got old<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t do the things I used to do<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause I&#8217;m an o-old man<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I can&#8217;t look, like used to<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t walk, like used to<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t lu-uv, like used to<br \/>\nAn&#8217; now things done changed<br \/>\nAn&#8217; I done got old<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t do the things I used to do<br \/>\nBecause I&#8217;ma o-old man<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;ma o-old man<br \/>\nI&#8217;ma o-old man<br \/>\nI&#8217;ma o-old man<br \/>\nAn&#8217; I&#8217;m not the same<br \/>\nI&#8217;m a very old man<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Buddy Guy Title: Sweet Tea Year: 2001 Format: CD Rating (1-10): 9 Owner: Tracy Acquired: 2006 -I can&#8217;t remember where, even though it was this year, because I done got old.
