Re: [Harp-L] Totally bored with the blues genre

["James D Hoskins" <jameshoskinz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't think of a time, in any genre, that I was in for more than 20% and
usually not that much. Seems right to me. I'm sure at least 90% of the
musicians out there are trying really hard to please me, but it's just not
going to happen.
