It's a feelin' - a great feelin' a person has. When you get ahold of a guitar and get to singing blues, you ... forget about that terrible feelin', and you can suddenly revive and you can overcome - John Jackson
The Vegas remark was inspired by stories my friend Harold Hagopian was telling me about when his dad, famous Oud player Richard Hagopian was part of a Vegas show called the Cleopatra review for a few years in the sixties. Great pay, fabulous accommodations. I'm thinking...the Country Blues Review... Bales of hay, overalls, live mules, dancing showgirls in checkered gingham dresses....hey ...it could work

My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music. Vladimir Nabokov (1899 - 1977)
This reminds me of something I read years ago--I think it was Barry Hansen commenting on John Fahey--that Fahey said 90% of the music/entertainment industry was BS, and therefore one should go straight for the BS and milk it for all that it's worth.

I like it.
Now we know how so many performers of the music we love have gone wrong.
