Answer to Question 1ANSWER: Answers will vary.
Singers usually compose songs one stanza at a time, working with traditional, proverbial expressions that rhyme.
Originality is not as important in blues as in commercial popular music generally, but singers do put together original phrases, lines, and stanzas, and mix these with traditional ones to compose songs they call their own.
Although sung in the first person, blues songs are not necessarily personal, autobiographical expressions. The singers draw on their own experiences, and other people's experiences, when composing blues songs from original and traditional expressions. For that reason, the listener should not assume that a blues singer is singing about himself or herself.
