I think it's disgusting that people like Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Mississippi John Hurt, T-bone Walker, and thousands of other bluesmen out of the Mississippi Delta actually stole the blues from the Irish and tried to claim it as their own. They should be ashamed. Actually, I understand that Rap and Hip-hop originated in Latvia and Lithuania. Hmmmmmm. If we (Black folk) hadn't come up with those Madrigals, we probably wouldn't have any musical heritage at all.

When I close my eyes I only HEAR the Music

Yeah, closing one's eyes to the facts seems to be a very prominent American trait. It's the best way to pretend something doesn't exist or didn't happen. Happy New Year.

chas thanx for starting the new year off miserable & sending this post south...what does all this craop have to do with playingthe violin? ....but hey that's your problem.....me I just ignor it no problem.....and I just close my eyes and enjoy the music.

Most of your posts start out 'south'. Oh, and of course YOU've NEVER sent any posts south. Damn, I guess I'll just have to aspire to your standards.

Here's a joke for you to get the New Year off to a good start.

'After a series of misfortunes, a devoutly religious man turns to the heavens and says, "God, I've tried to be a good person all my life, why are you punishing me like this?" The clouds part and a majestic voice says, "I don't know, Donald, there's just something about you that pisses me off".
