Some have, some haven't...

Take yerself down to Clarksdale, Ms. any Saturday afternoon to the Delta Blues Museum and check out the young black kids playin' that Mississippi groove back in the band room...

'Er stop by Archie Edwards Barbershop in the Washington, D.C. area and check out the number of good black bluesmen, young and old...

Check out Corey Harris, Guy Davis, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Miles Spicer, Phil Wiggins, the Burnsides, Kenny Kimbrough, Terry Bean... I mean, lotta black folk, young and old, still playing their "grand daddy's blues"...

Yeah, lotta white folk (me included) playin' it, too...

Ain't all hip-hop 'er rap... Lotta blues being played, too...

So, no, it ain't being rejected by younger black any more than doo-wop ain't being played by too many young white folks...

Times change... Not to worry... The blues is in good hands...
