Vacation Time.....I'm Coming To America

I'll be in Indiana for the coming week, visiting family. Then, it's off to Disney for a week-long extravaganza with my family. Until then, keep on keeping on!!

Got Jerry?

Nicaraguan Blues

This is a friend of mine.....Well, not exactly....but this guy is obviously thirsty for some Flor de Caña

More Stefan Grossman....A True Inspiration!

and one by Paul Geremia....

Who Says White Folks Don't Have The Blues?

Broke Down Engine......2007 Style

Another Banjo Chris classic....I wish I could play the ole 12 string like this guy!

Picking the Guitar

Well, it's funny.....every once in awhile, I run into other musicians here in Managua. I guess I can call myself a 'musician'. I mean, I play guitar.
Guy that plays guitar= musician, right?!

At any rate, for those of you that know me, I haven't been at it very long, couple of years, maybe 3. So, when some guy comes along....you know, a semi-professional musician, and we get to talking....he finds out I 'play guitar'. Next thing you know, I'm going to jam with him....perhaps before he does a show in a little dive bar here.

I keep telling the guy, 'Hey! I don't play Country music, I play Country Blues music. That means no George Strait. I'm talking Mississippi John Hurt.....' Then he goes, 'What?! Who's he?!'.....and so it goes. I'm a burgeoning guitarist, playing a style no one has heard of....in a country with no music scene.

You know, some might say the climate is just right for the Blues......Where's my guitar?
