I'm pretty sure if he was alive today, he would support our gala. In fact, I believe if he was alive today, he might even perform at the gala.
blues easiest few forms people
The blues for me ? you just feel it. It's one of the easiest forms to play, but very few people can make other people feel the blues when you play it. If it wasn't for the blues I wouldn't even want to play the guitar.

As my playing progressed I started playing Santana and Jimmy Hendrix.
