Ed, my man, let's talk about why we like/love the blues. What do you say? I dig the sounds, the muscianship and the creativeness of those who sing and play it. It has sincere feeling that really turns me on. I loved and admired guys like Louie Armstrong, who knew what he liked and did his thing. Many black blues musicians were down on Louie, because they thought he should be more creative, that he should "progress" musically. He found that the black funeral music turned him on and he was surprised to find that he wasn't the only one. The white community fell in love with him and his music. He was a great entertainer who was one of the main reasons us "whities" fell for the blues.

Hey gang, how about naming at least one great white blues muscian in this thread (from this point on)? I know you can. Let's do it!

One last thought:"Talk about it more and they shall come!"
