Thanks, Sailtrader. For what it's worth, I, too, took classical music lessons (piano, but only after studying solfegio and theory, first, under an old Italian maestro of a musician whose day job consisted of carpentry and sculpting) at a young age, moving on to jazz later in my years, and eventually acquiescing very galdly to the magic available through all music forms. A recent PBS series that traced the first recorded history of the real grit that underlies the blues, back to the early 20th Century and before, put a lot of the old-world of classical and the new-world of jazz and the blues into a new perspective for me very nicely. I was amazed to find the extent to which the likes of Eric Clapton, captain of the band Cream during the Sixties, and many of his peers found their inspiration in the works of Skip James ("I'm So Glad") tinyurl.com , Son House, and scores of other string-plucking blues artists of the period.
