The blues and I go way back... when I first learned guitar, my mentor was a blues guitarist.
My grandpa loved music as much as I do and he introduced me to all the "standards" from back in the day. We'd sit and listen to records of all kinds of stuff when I was a kid. I fell in love with John Coltrane, Cab Calloway, and Miles Davis early on in life and haven't stopped loving them since.. |

There is a great show on Friday nights from 6-9 Eastern. It's called Jukebox Friday Night and it's all big band from the 30's and 40's. Dorsey Bros., Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, etc. The guy who does the show is a real pleasant fellow who really knows a lot about the Big Band era. I get it over the air, but I believe you can get it streaming at WFWM.org.
But if you really wanna know what gets me going, it's blues, especially electric blues. Albert Collins is probably my all-time favorite, but there are so many great blues artists out there. Glad to see there are others who enjoy more than the pop that's forced down our throats. |

I was glad to see the 90's swing movement, the bands that were underground for so many years got some decent exposure. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy always had a killer live show... more people just got to experience it.
Albert Collins is my favorite blues guitarist (apologies to B.B. King, whom I love also). Seeing him live was mind-blowing. |

I never had the "talent" to be any real good on the guitar. I play drums (hence the Buddy Rich post). But I love to watch an acoustic guitar. ever see a guy named Jim Stafford play his 12 string with some Spanish classical stuff...it's simply INCREDIBLE! |
