Hmm
You know. a bunch of years ago I went totally off the blues. Anytime I heard any it just grated on me. I decided I was over it and it was time to move on. I was wrong. I needed to get away from it to see it in a new perspective. I can listen to the old stuff just as easily as the new. The one thing though is how it makes me FEEL. Real passion, real depth is my only requirement. For example, I have to turn the radio off when Blues Traveler comes on; that harmonica playing drives me up the WALL! 150 notes for the six PG would have used. More notes is not better. More notes is not passion or depth. It is just more notes.
For those who are not aware there is a wonderful, old fashioned type radio station available worldwide on the internet or on several am/fm stations in the SF bay area called KPIG. You can hear old county or new country/ old americana/new americana old blues/new blues. It is wonderful. They have a huge library and an ear for interesting music. DJs still pick what is to be played. The afternoon dj left recently and I miss him; I could always count on PG FM every day. They still play FM (though BW periods) but not as frequently as they used to. I highly recommend them. They have live performances and interviews in the studio that are wonderful. kpig.com
Anyway, just wanted to say that Mystery to Me is still one of my favorite albums. I still play the vinyl a lot.
