Are you feeling Blue, Tone? Shouldn't have lied about those WMDs, I guess.
("Hey, Rol - 2003 is calling. They want their joke back.)
Here are some more Blue Tones...
THE BLUETONES #1
We start today in the mid-50s with four very clean cut young
men who made up the Seattle Bluetones, led by one Joey Gee.

Gee & The Bluetones – Little Searcher
To Canada next, in 1957, for some Blue (gap) Tones, with added Fred Coupland.
THE BLUE TONES #3
THE BLUETONES #4
Also known as The Royal Teens, these Bluetones were doing
and wopping in the mid-60s… and till the end of time.

Bluetones - I'll Love You (Till The End Of Time)
THE BLUETONES #5
Bluesy Bluetones from Rhode Island circa 1989, led by one Raymond Alan Norcia – Sugar Ray to his mates. Still in the go, it seems.
THE BLUETONES #6
Seen as Britpop also-rans by people who still think Oasis have any value beyond their comedy Viz Northern lunkhead stereotypes… although they were the band that knocked (What’s The Story) Morning Glory off the top of the album chart, so history should thank them for that. (Though their biggest hit, Slight Return, was denied a Number One on the singles chart by… Babylon Zoo.)
I always like Mark Morris and his Hounslow Bluetones. A lot. Saw them live quite a few times back in my gigging heyday and they always put on a good show. More than can be said for the Millionaire Manchester Muppets.
ZE BLUETONES #7
French Bluetones, active about 20 years ago. Or between 2003 and 2009 for those of us who still think the 80s were about 20 years ago.
THE BLUE TONES #8
And we finish today in Akron, Pennsylvania, with brothers Brian & Chris Harris… two pictures of each of them, I’m guessing to make them look like a four-piece band.
Which ones enhance your audio experience... and which ones just leave you blue?
#2 for me I think. #3 is Dick Donato Does Dion. #4 is a Neil Sedaka ripoff. The less said about some of the others the better.
