What is Blues

["G. Weiser" <glennw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

> Blues is about white guys (preferably lawyers or dentists) singing out of key
> while playing harmonica or guitars through amps that are way too overdriven
> so they sound like crap out front. Its about calling out "Mustang Sally" five
> times in one night. Also its about big flashy licks with no melodic content,
> and wearing way cool shades so that nobody will mistake you for a musician.
> It's also about "break up" because a real blues player never plays clean. Its
> also about what microphone or guitar you use, and about making sure that
> whatever you got, its "relic'ed." In short if you do not know what
> constitutes "Blues", you never will.
