Juneteenth is fairly new 1967â. The blues is way deeper and older than 1967.
Of my extensive music collection of blues legends from the 1940s, all the way up through the modern era… I still have yet to hear any of these blues masters mention ANYTHING about Juneteenth in their songs or even in archived interviews across all forms of media. đ€
Thanx, Lamont 'Jack' Pearley and NowThis News. This was fascinating. Cheers.
This is one of the best explanations I ever saw about Blues. Thank you so much Lamont!
Well done and very well put together. Great presentation young man!

I honestly sometimes forget to make the association, yet I am very glad to sometimes listen to the blues, and the legends that established it from Muddy Waters to Robert Johnson. From generational storytelling to every day life and the brutally honest truth about what youâre feeling; the blues is always the blues as timeless and influential as it is. Three cords, 12 bars, echoing melodies, and decades of influence.
Let us always remember the struggle, the stories, and the timeless influence that is the blues.
It should be because the white America, the land of the brave home of the free stole everything from black people… Elvis Presley wouldn't be who he was if he didn't grow up in black neighborhood
Juneteenth Another Racist Holiday.
Is "Juneteenth" actually a real holiday?
