Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very popular. And western swing is not that far from jazz and blues.
There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.
If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.
And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.
A frozen river is not a dry one, it's just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.
I'm crazy for trying, crazy for crying, and I'm crazy for loving you.
