Sooner rather than later, any other form other than digital media will be a thing of the past. It won't vanish, but let's face it, this is seemingly the way of the future.

Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.

Did Muddy Waters play an acoustic? Well of course he did. But did he turn his back on being able to plug it in and play louder? No, he plugged in and turned it up and got miles and miles ahead of the game in one fateful act of just plugging in.

I probably owe as much to Jeff Beck as I do to Son House with connections to the blues.

If you're really looking for something in particular, it helps to take your time.
