Thread Name: an embarassment as a blues singer
Subject: RE: an embarassment as a blues singer
Those who do, well they do, those who don't write reviews. The only reviews that ever matter to me is when another song writer that I respect and cherish tell me that I need to work on the song more .. If I hear that from someone like my brother Bruce, I know it is correct and I need more work. Likewise if I hear it is a fine song I know not to mess with it. Many reviewers have an ax to grind. Some just don't like the music. Tastes are all different. I think one should not write a review unless they perform themselves. That of course is my opinion. I have had good ones I have had bad ones but I play for me. You been at this a long time. You have a strong following .. that tells ya something Dick. Forget it ... You do blues the way you want to do blues. Do it cause you like it not any reviewer. I play blues. I could not possibly be as good as Bobert or DWDitty ... who is, those guys are in a class all by themselves. But I enjoy what I do .. that is all that matters. Forget the reviewer, if that was true so many people would not buy your music and follow you in a performance. They do so that has to tell you the guy or girl that wrote it is full of crap ... ok
