Hi Bluesman!
Welcome to the forums! I think you'll find some like-minded souls here. I've been playing blues and jazz (and folk and bluegrass, and ... and...) for the past 50 years. Been thinking of changing my name to McKinley Morgenfeld...
Good places for the blues:
a. the highway
b. the jailhouse
c. the empty bed
Bad places:
a. gallery openings
b. weekend in the Hamptons
c. an ashram
(Note: Persons with names like Sierra or Rainbow will not be permitted to sing the blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.)
