"The blues is about giving voice to some of the little moments in life. So ask yourself a few questions -- What's really going on at work? How does it feel? How long has it been going on? -- and then pick a topic."
Change your identity.
"People tend to overidentify with their title, position, agenda, and company. Picking a blues name lets you put your persona aside for the night. We want to give people room to be someone else -- or at least to discover another part of themselves that frequently isn't expressed."
Don't be too serious.
"The blues has always been laced with humor and fun. It's not all moaning and groaning."
Go beyond the blues.
"The musical place beyond the blues is called gospel. That's where you go for celebration, ecstasy, gratitude -- a place to get out of your head, stop focusing on all the junk, and start realizing how beautiful life is."
