Music is the one thing that can do anything....it can inspire me, make me sad, energize me, make me angry, and comfort me. I like some of all types of music. There is something about great musicianship and artistry that make music good no matter what genre it belongs to. For this reason I tend to spread my tastes across many genres. However, I have a true love and passion for Blues music, and feel that we owe the Blues artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries a great deal for all of the varying types of music we have today.
