Blues-Mark introduces himself

Dear readers of my blog stories! I looked it appropriate to introduce myself between my stories. Probably you have already noticed that I am a staunch friend of the blues music. I have been for almost 50 years. In this picture, Blues-Mark has a new leather hat. The picture is technically very special, because you cannot recognize what is genuine and what is reflected from the background through a mirror. The picture is taken with a timer.

Bad Luck Day Blues

Bad Luck Day Blues

Today nothin' ain't gone right
Oh Lord,
Nothin' ain't gone well today

I woke up early in the morning
No problems I couldn't see
But just a moment later
Hell was free

All was done for a trip to Lapland
Even the weather was fine
But I was too late to catch my bus
I already saw its side line

Rapidly I started to run
After it with my heavy bag
Accidentally I fell down 
When I tried it to drag

A good taxi driver picked me up
Drivin' after my lost bus
I reached it and stepped in
But all was just beginnin'

I had left my pocket-book at home
I had no money to pay my bill
I already felt myself totally ill
My dear brother reached his hand
I was free to travel to Lapland

On the road to Lapland
There was rain and snow everywhere
Just the bare northern nature was there
The beautiful colors of the fall
Were already away

We wanted to see a reindeer round-up
The local brewery was shut-up
No reindeers were yet there
I just walked on the empty and snowy road
On the silent hemisphere.

I have never heard this song before.
