2218.0. "Blues Standard help ?" by SALEM::TAYLOR_J () Thu May 30 1991 14:04

    Last night I saw a slide blues song ( Stormy Monday ) done
     on tv ( doogie Houser ).  It was a really cool song, apparently
     played in an open tuning ( open d ?? )
    
     Does anyone know either/or the words and music to this song ?
     
     I'd really appreciate if anyone could either post it or send
     me mail. The blues will never die

	there's a few different variations, but the one I've always liked was the Alman Brothers version, (can be found on 'Live at the Filmore'..) Nicely done... The chord changes are quite numerous, but once you find the patter it simply repeats itself. If you don't get any other bites, I can give it a shot, let me know via Mail...

	Well they call it Stormy Monday but Tuesday's just as bad. I say they call it " " " " " " " Wednesday's "woist" and Thursday's oh so sad. Well the eagle flies on Friday - Saturday I go out to play! Yes, " " " " " " " " " " " Sunday morning I fall on my knees and pray. Lou Rawls has a great version of this on an old album, 'Lou Rawls - Live'. -Ralph

2218.4	strat-out	CAVLRY::BUCK	SAVE THE WILDCAT at Elitch Gardens!!!	`Thu May 30 1991 18:15`	2
	This looks likme a Scary-kinda tune! ;^)
2218.5		RAVEN1::BLAIR	Need a hot tune and a cold one	`Thu May 30 1991 18:35`	3
	It's a Bluesman tune, man. So, it is a Scarymon tune! (and a blair-unit tune)
2218.6	sadness	CAVLRY::BUCK	SAVE THE WILDCAT at Elitch Gardens!!!	`Thu May 30 1991 18:36`	4
	...but not a Buckmeister tune! ;^( Buck, whos version of the Blues is the Vai's opening tune for the headcutting duel in Crossroads!
2218.7	duane	COMET::DURHAM		`Thu May 30 1991 18:58`	13
	This is the way I heard on the live at the fillmore album. G7 C9 G7 Ab7 G7 C9 ----------G7 Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Cm7 G7 C9 G7 D9 B.D.
2218.8	Love those Stormy Turnarounds	DNEAST::GREVE_STEVE	Greee Veee King	`Thu May 30 1991 19:29`	15
	yep, there's about as many turnarounds for Stormy Monday blues as there are dudes and dudettes who play it! I have this version by Bobby Blue something or other.. Bland?? He does it straight I IV V, which, of course, I love cause it's the onliest chords I know. [;^) Scarymon unit + Blair unit = Blues Units... Yayus, let it be said, brothers and sisters! Gimme a control-H Gree Vee
2218.9	who woulda thought	CAVLRY::BUCK	SAVE THE WILDCAT at Elitch Gardens!!!	`Thu May 30 1991 19:35`	2
	So I'm to understand that "stormy turnarounds" mean the same thing and Sub-V dom resolutions? Whada concept!
2218.10	Buckley blues...	KDX200::COOPER	Opinionated MIDI Rack Puke	`Thu May 30 1991 20:12`	7
	Actually Buck, if my memory serves me correctly, you JAMMED Stormy Monday with me at my wedding. You were either smiling cuz you were having a good time playing it, or you were laughing at my lead (which was scary as hell cuz I was drunker than a f*rt). I've got it VIDEO tape ! Film At 11! jc (Who sez: Stormy Monday is a Coopster-tune too)
2218.11	Lee Michaels	STEREO::BROWN	One Gun, One Bullet, One Foot	`Fri May 31 1991 10:57`	3
	Stormy Monday was also done by Lee Michaels, in the early '70s. No guitars, though, just Lee on the Hammond Organ and "Frosty" on the drums.
2218.12	Yet another variation	DREGS::BLICKSTEIN	Just say /NOOPT	`Fri May 31 1991 11:58`	15
	> G7 C9 G7 Ab7 G7 > C9 ----------G7 Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Cm7 G7 C9 G7 D9 Well I guess I'll add one more change (how we play it): G7 C9 G7 Ab7 G7 C9 ----------G7 Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Abmaj7 G7 C9 G7 D9 (I think the Cm7 is an Abmaj7.)
2218.13	imagine that! ;^)	CAVLRY::BUCK	SAVE THE WILDCAT at Elitch Gardens!!!	`Fri May 31 1991 12:01`	3
	RE: Cooper I did?!?!?
2218.14		KDX200::COOPER	Opinionated MIDI Rack Puke	`Fri May 31 1991 13:44`	4

2218.15		NAC::SCHUCHARD	Al Bundy for Gov'	`Fri May 31 1991 19:46`	6
	gee, i know it was 20+ years ago, bit i saw the Allmans play it twice, in A. I still have very clear memories of Duanne playin. b
2218.16	Coop's old ES-120T	ESKIMO::CURRAN		`Sat Jun 01 1991 01:47`	8
	You know, Jeff, Stormy sounds real sweet on that ES-120 you sold me. Love playin' it. DC
2218.17		KDX200::COOPER	Opinionated MIDI Rack Puke	`Mon Jun 03 1991 13:54`	5
	That was my favorite tune to play on that guit... That ole gibson has such a sweet tone...Just whats needed for that song - And I was playing it thru a pair of black-face Vibrachamps too.. Peeeerrrty. jc
2218.18	do you know, do you know, do you know?	RAVEN1::BLAIR	Need a hot tune and a cold one	`Wed Jun 05 1991 15:53`	5
	Grevie-meister-man, what key does Bobby Bland do Stormy Monday in? I have the cd to play along with (best of Bobby Bland). -pat
2218.19	rib-bah, RIH-BAH!	LEDS::BURATI	No Gain No Pain	`Wed Jun 05 1991 16:08`	8
	> G7 C9 G7 Ab7 G7 > C9 ----------G7 Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Abmaj7 G7 C9 G7 D9 > > (I think the Cm7 is an Abmaj7.) I don't know how the Abmaj7 works (I'll have to try it out) but try using a Bb13 in place of the Bbm7 in the turn-around.
2218.20		DNEAST::GREVE_STEVE	Greee Veee King	`Wed Jun 05 1991 17:49`	6
	Yep.. it's the GEEE word Blair unit... They really "chunk" it up, huh? I also like ALbert King's version a lot, he plays it in A. YOU"VE GOT A CD PLAYER!!! OH DROOOOOOL! [;^)
