I'm going to play at a benefit to raise money for Katrina survivors next week. Thanks for reminding me what to play.
Well what should I do? Learn "My Heart Will Go On"?
I love Fogerty's music, absolutely the first song I learned to play, about 1970, was "Who'll Stop the Rain". I think he comes closer to the spirit of the Bayou than anyone from El Cerrito California has a right to. And I heard him last Friday on the big benefit show, wherever it was, playing "Born On The Bayou".
I think it's weird that there's this knee-jerk reaction that we should only play music that DOESN'T reflect reality. Come on, what is folk music, or blues music, about again?
