What is Bloozin’? It’s a made-up verb for a damn fun activity and the title of this blog.
The words, pictures, videos and sounds you’ll find here comprise our endeavor to explain, capture and interpret the enjoyment, exploration, experience and expression of music’s places, spaces and faces.
Blues music is a big part of Bloozin’ so the “Bl” hits solidly, right up front. But that I-IV-V chord progression and those pentatonic scales are part of a lot of music. So expect all kinds here, from roots to rock and in between.
Next up we have the wow factor – the oohs and ahhs that come with great music. And when the music is really good, those sounds are really loud – particularly when the interaction is live and the energy flows from audience to artist and back again. That gives us the “oo”.
Most folks mix music with a beverage of choice. More often than not, that’s some sort of booze. And that’s where we get the “z.”
The last word is “in.” So whether we’re grooving at the gig, digging the festival, seeing the sites, easing back at the HQ or just cranking the tunes, Bloozin’ will set the stage, capture the scene and provide some musical perspective.
