Any musicians out there?
I play banjo, piano, organ, guitar, saxophone, etc. Huge blues fan..classic rock.. Eric Clapton, SRV, Buddy Guy, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Night, Ray Charles, Brian Setzer, the list goes on... What kind o' stuff you cats into? Thought it might be intresting to start a music discussion.


Peace

6. cool...
lookin at the links now. I agree with you, the music industry has gone downhill. It is all about image these days, not about substance or talent. I think Ashlee Simpson's SNL performance proves my point.. Haha

Good article here on Mouthpieces:
