LIVIN WITHOUT STRESS AIN'T EASY....BUT I'M TRYING

About Me

"I like to present a broader spectrum of the blues because I grew up hearing all of it, and I think it's important for people to be aware of the more complete history of the blues." That it too is an Art Form as it's children, Jazz R&B, Rock, and Hip Hop are.
