Big Ian,
Peace offering accepted. I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot also, in whatever way I played a part on that. Never hurts to give people a chance, you never know what you could be missing out on, I guess is the moral here.
I have learned more about you, and while at first I may have seen one side of you, I can also now see that you have a pretty big heart and seem to be a good guy, so I'm glad you shared as you have about your life, musical background family and job. I hope that you are given opportunities to make some spare change by helping others. One of the most gratifying things for me is to be able to make a living helping others, and being appreciated for it. I hope you get that opportunity as well.
The thing that I appreciate about the blues videos you shared is how authentic they are to older blues, and that's something that I dont see as much over here. I think it goes back to the fact that in the early part of last century, while the uS all but ignored traditional blues guys, folks in the UK really supported them and ate this stuff up, thats how you ended up with Clapton, Zep, Yardbirds and the like. It seems like the real blues is still living greatly in the UK. Kudos to you. We dont hear this kind of theing much where we are. Blues seems to be a homogenized mess of Hendrix and SRV, which sounds great, but it seems to dominate and overpower any other knowledge or sensibilities concerning the blues.
What you shared in these videos suggests a rich blues heritage that you have around you nurturing you, and for that I say "More power to you". I could go watching guys like this all day long because they sound so different than what we have out here even in Austin TX.
Cheers,
Instructor
