My contribution: "There is a Time", by Andy Griffith. I know there's another version with the Darlings that's more bluegrass, but this is more fitting for this week, I think.

I wasn't gonna share anything because I've been on a blues drought somewhat, but the song "I wanna be like you" from the Jungle Book movie came to mind randomly, where King Louis is voiced by Louis Prima. That took me down a Louis Prima rabbit hole.

I wonder if he's not more Jazz than he is Blues, but in this song he's doing a unique rendition of a blues song I think I shared previously, "Aint Misbehavin". It's also got "way down yonder in new orleans" mixed in, which I'm listening to as I write this to try to figure out if it's bluesy enough.

But anyway here's the song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQK1vwPDzFs

Even if it's not blues it's a blast!

Couldn’t think of any Easter-like themed tunes but ran across an old favorite artist. Rory Gallagher. https://open.spotify.com/track/7CjdF3uYTc97aqLhMPTsuJ?si=gPdhnpxLTVySthCze13kAQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A1oKWgM9Td5XbgUweHSRGXB
