I'll check him out. The only Blues I've ever done is people like BB King, Armstrong, Muddy Waters... just the most popular ones. Verc, you listen to Joe Bonomassa?
I know Bonomassa, but I sort of regard him as one of a bunch of pleasant but interchangeable white rock and roll blues guys. I like a little more grit with my blues. Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf are about perfect. Delta blues like Son House and Robert Johnson for the serious, raw, 1 am drinking time. The rock and roll bluesmen tend to make the blues sound like more of a good time than I feel like it ought to be. If that makes sense.
That makes sense. So, clearly from me being here a few months I've noticed your well educated. What did you go to school for?
I have an English degree from UTK, which of course has been mostly irrelevant in terms of holding down a job -- my career before I started staying home with the kids full time was in IT support -- but which was spectacularly useful as far as teaching me how to think and write critically. 15-20 writing classes have a way of forcing the mind to focus whether you like it or not.
Believe it or not I'm in school for an English degree at APSU. I believe I am going to switch majors though. I love creative writing, poetry, and things of that nature, but I only wish to use my degree for teaching and perhaps coaching in high school, and I already make more money at my job now than I would in teaching.
