Art ... take a good look at what's out there! ... as mentioned in my previous thread there is exceptional music being made out there by younger artists who are not marketing their art via the big record companies, and whose art is important to them just as it was with the 'older generation'. I think it is rather unfair writing off these new artists.

"And often it is truly because they just didn't know what went down before."   .... again untrue, my nephew who is 25 years old can discuss the past greats with any of the older guys ... as are 2 younger musicians I had the please to meet last weekend, or others I have meant lately... and what is more imprortant is the fact that these young people are more ever appreciative of what we can teach them about the past ... and even more astonishing is they know some licks, songs from the past that I have learned from them.
