Re: [Harp-L] San Francisco Scene now shuffles!

I've lost track of the amount of musicians who comment negatively on 
'Shuffles'
I luv 'em, really do,in fact they are to me, the essence of what blues is 
about.
Seen videos of the ' rural' players like Son House in a juke joint and what 
is he playin'
Shuffles!
And if you get up to jam with a blues band whats the best call, a I iv v 
shuffle
It must be the rhythm in me, but give me a Shuffle any day over some slow 
tortured 12 bar that
goes on,and on ,leavin' the audience not in awe of the soloists wanking ,but 
heading for the exits.
Long live the Shuffle!
Nothing personal Damien ;-)
