Another coincidence...I didn't know either that black men were the only ones who could play the blues. Who said such a foolish thing? I bet he wouldn't say that to Big Mama Thornton.

You're on to me. I'm actually speaking in code that only other "racist" and "sexist" types can understand. It's a good thing the word police are on the job to protect the forum from the likes of me.

If you wanna play the blues you gotta get a hat and learn to grimace. Richard's got the expressions - now get a hat!

There is no limit to the blues. Everybody plays the blues differently. That's what its all about.
