Teaching, learning, playing, politics, religion, making the world better.
Anyone with an interest in music, the business of music and music education. Anyone with a particular interest in Blues............no narrow pigeon-holed iconoclast viewpoint -- something more inclusive, but still has to be the Real Deal, none of the posers or wannabes.
All traditional music.... classical, folk, blues, jazz, rock. Anywhere that tradition takes us.
Reds, Glory, Moanin' at Midnight, John Lee Hooker:That's My Story, Tom Dowd: The Language of Music, and many more. Anything with compelling character, story, mission, or moral.
Deadwood, Rome, West Wing, Malcolm in the Middle, That 70's Show
Political, Musical, Religious, Philosophical. Certainly Shakespeare.
