Floof who's your avatar bluesman?



The man, "King of the Delta Blues", Robert Johnson. I've been working on my fingerpickin' technique with help from his "Complete Works" on tablature. It makes one wonder if he really did have the Devil tune his guitar down at the crossroads. Thats awesome that the lineage is still alive and kickin' through guys like Little Pink, Buddy Guy, etc. When I was in Atlanta a few years ago for the Cub's playoff series, the only live music I could find was jazz. Not complaining mind you, I guess it's just more of a jazz town. Iowa and Arizona hasn't been the best turf for a cracka like me to find the scene, but mining the annals of Americana has been far more fulfilling pursuit than keeping up with the mostly crap music of today, y'know.
