Frank Mendenhall - "All Blues Saturday"

The more I hear Frank Mendenhall's music, the more I love it.  He has a really unique sound and he's another southern soul artist that left here way too soon.  He left behind some fantastic music.  I recently found out that he was from Camden, in the Possum Bend area, and I wish I had had a chance to meet him. "All Blues Saturday" is a great southern soul song that is all about listening to the blues and having a good time.  Like so many of us, he waited all week long to get to the weekend - I know what he means!!

They say this is the place to go if you want to party
They say this is the place to be if you want a good time
They say that the dee jays sho’ know how to party on a Saturday
I just come to party, shake my rump all night long
I’ve been waiting all week long to get to the weekend
For the all blues Saturday
I just want to listen to the blues
Then I want to dance all day

Fish fry in the back yard, barbecue on the grill
It’s an all blues Saturday, I got my cooler full
Please let the dee jays keep on playing those blues all day
I just want to party, it’s an all blues Saturday

I’ve been waiting all week long to get to the weekend
For the all blues Saturday
I just want to listen to the blues
And then I want to dance all day

I’ve been waiting all week long to get to the weekend
For the all blues Saturday
I just want to listen to the blues
And I want to dance all day

Everybody out there in the night club
All out there in the roads (?)
Even out there that are working all day long
Know they want to party too
They’ve been waiting all week long to get to the weekend
For the all blues Saturday
They just want to hear the dee jay play the blues all day


Note:  The song stops around the 3:45 mark.
Enjoy!!
