	Delta blues
		The blues is when you find the fine, big woman of your dreams, she dies in your arms of a heart attack just before dawn.
		The blues is when the searing light from your welder's torch slowly, gradually burns much of the sight from your eyes, you sit on your porch in the cool damp of the afternoon and sing to the rhythms in your own mind, then go into town for a bottle of Wild Irish Rose.
		But here in the Delta, where most of the legendary juke joints have slowly shut their doors and most of the bluesmen have died off or moved away, the blues is fading from the very place it was born, say the people who play it and others who live here.
