Bobert gave me a long list of Blues artist and then wrote:
"Now, when yer up on these folks, PM me and' we'll see what else we can come up with...."

Umm, Bobert, it probably will take YEARS for me to be 'up on' these artists or 'down with them' as I think the latest AA [African American]hip hop lingo is [it's interesting that they both mean the same thing.. I remember when 'being down on' something meant that you didn't like it; maybe the difference is the 'with' word]

Ahem!! Sorry about that...
I digressed big time..That was a stream of consciousness moment.

As I was saying...

Bobert, I do appreciate the list that you compiled for me. I will try to check them out on the radio and probably [as finances allow] purchase some CDs with those artist songs on them, and particularly be on the look out for Fred McDowell.

Of course I could get rid of this dial up and move on up to the high speed broadband all the time on Internet so then I can download some Blues songs, or did they make that illegal?

Thanks again & Peace,
