		The blues was first sung by men at leisure, and was called the folk blues.
		Country singers joined the fl-butt and the Fast Western pianist migration, and brought their style to Chicago, Detroit, and New York, where the classic blues singers united with the New Orleans and Fast Western musicians, and introduced their blues style in clubs, theaters, and dance halls.
		The market for the recorded blues was almost entirely fl during the 1920s and 1930s, and the records became known as "race records." Record companies advertised exclusively to fls and only fl stores sold the records.

	Olympus MIC-D: Butterfly Wing Scale Gallery - Western Blue
		Female western blue butterflies lay their eggs on tropical plants including acacias, aspen trees, mahogany beans, and craib trees, and newborn caterpillars forage for leaves on the plants on which they were born.
		Although acacias are famous for their co-evolved communities of guardian ants, which prevent most kinds of herbivory, the adaptation appears to have little impact on the hardy western blue caterpillars.
		Due to their incredible speed, western blue butterflies are nearly impossible to catch in flight and, historically, butterfly hunters had to patiently wait for individuals to rest or sun themselves, which made the elusive flying jewels highly valuable as specimens.

		Also on display were an SR electric locomotive in blue and various electric multiple units and carriages in other proposed liveries.
		Eventually, at the end of 1948, a range of standard liveries was fixed: light blue for the highest powered express passenger locomotives; a darker green (actually Brunswick green, an old GWR colour) for other express engines and fl for everything else including the few diesel and electric locos.
		That lamenting GWR ghost quickly got its revenge; in 1951 it was decided that blue didn't wear well and it was abandoned in favour of Brunswick green which was extended to all express passenger locomotives, including the 'Kings'.

	Blues at Bridgetown 2006 - Western Australia
		Held, as always over the second weekend in November, the 2006 Blues at Bridgetown Festival was again a sellout, despite the organisers making more tickets available and a bigger Blue Owl’s Nest venue.
		Blues at Bridgetown started as a small, community run event to promote Bridgetown as a tourist destination during what was then a quiet time of the year.
		Although it is now one of the largest music events of its kind in Australia, the festival is still community based, with an organising committee who are all volunteers supported by hundreds of local community members, who also volunteer their time and services to ensure the festival weekend always runs smoothly and is a success.

		Nevertheless, Autry displays a natural, appealing comfort with the blues idiom, especially with his sharp yodels, and his originals hold their own next to Rodgers's classics.
		Blues and folk music is fundamental to what eventually became the cowboy, western, and country genres, and Gene demonstrates here that prior to his 'Cowboy' fame, he had a solid grip on the blues.
		He emulates the style of blues legend Jimmie Rodgers, but each track, including the 10 original compositions, is genuinely convincing.
