Ev's right, it is a petty war. But it also shows a poor grasp of blues
history. The first known blues overblow was recorded about a year before
Little Water was even BORN (Mean Low Blues, Blues Birdhead, 1929). And
perhaps the second one (Paul Oscher, 1968) was recorded on a Muddy Water
record the year Little Walter died.
People who value overblows may be part of your potential audience, Nick.
Why alienate them? Beside, it doesn't really show much class to build
yourself up by tearing others down.

Stop this petty war against people using (gasp!) a
