I hear ya. Rough is definately "rough".
But it does give ya an intro to find out who and what you might like in the genre.
Most of my collection comes from buying cd's direct from the performers, so I know just what I'm getting. That and yearly visits to Louisiana where I have been known to half empty the stock from Floyds in Ville Platte!
(another VERY friendly place ta visit)
As for Will Fly, I heard his music and knew I was dealing with a real muso, so it was no big deal to lend him my box which is in dire need of being "played", rather than being taken out once in a while and "one fingered", which is my idea of serious practise :-)
Besides, I also have one of Chairman Mao's finest, so I can always git that out if I fancy a challenge!!!
