This would be a picture of my favorite guitar. Being a lover of blues music, I attempt to play my resonator guitar with the best of them. There is nothing like a good blues song to cheer the down-hearted. If you don't believe this, read most of the songs that David wrote in the Psalms.

The Psalms are filled with great blues words and I personally believe that most of them were written in the key of E. I also wonder if occasionally he didn't bend the strings on his harp when things were really down.

For those of you who are musically gifted try reading a Psalm with a little blues music rolling around in your head. Try a little of Psalms 3:

O Lord, I have so many enemies;
So many are against me. So many are saying, "God will never rescue him." But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; You are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from His holy mountain. I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me.
