da Blues: Wordplay ATC

Got 'da blues'? Are blues your favorite shade? Love your Levi 501 (tm) blues? Love listening to, or playing 'da blues'? that chord progression? Is your favorite hockey team Blue, St. Louis fans?
Your favorite freeboard?

Use any "blues" angle to create 2 ATCs, one for each partner.

I do not like to be called pun-y myself, but I sure notice them! Show two (or more! ) aspects or thoughts of 'da blues' on each one. (Hey - if a partner uses 'jazz' instead of true blues, you still have to give them a 5! Not everyone has the same view on the difference!)

Let's have some wordplay fun! ( Look for a "half-baked" wordplay ATC later this month )

Newbies allowed. Flakers & suspicious profiles banned. Let me know if there is anything odd about your ratings. I will angel as needed, but let me know!
