I am a retired counselor and hypnotist. I started studying blues over 30 years ago. I have played blues guitar and now blues harp. This blog is not about how to play the blues but about the culture and history of the blues. Over the years,I have met blues musicians,, managers and freinds of the musicians. I have been the member of many blues forums. I have also read many books and magazines about the blues. This has been my passion and I have gathered a lot of informatin. I don't remember where all of ths info came from but I am now trying to put as much of it in one place as possible. I have tried to make each subheading in each post a small essay in itself so people can find information they are seeking more easily. Please feel free to comment and ask questions. I don't know everything but if I don't know I will try to find the answer. Just ask..
