It's a real uphill challenge to battle the white-guyness.

The blues is life itself.

The rawness and the richness of music on vinyl almost went away, but it still seems to be on a lot of people’s radar, and for good reason. It does something different than more accessible means of music playing, like MP3 players and downloads and whatnot. You get in front of these archaic contraptions that go ’round and ’round.

Turn on, tune up, rock out.

Can't do it, simply cause underneath 'em is too ugly.

Most of the reggae awareness is still among music industry people and people who are already into all types of music.

A blown-out tube ripped some of the grind from the amplifier, throwing us into a momentary tizzy. The unusual sound led me to play unusually, and the recorded take turned out to be a keeper. Insriration can come from the most unlikely places ... keep your head on and your ears open.
