I absolutely LOVE blues music, hence my site name. My favorite blues musicians, all-time, are - 1) Muddy Waters 2) Howlin' Wolf 3) Jimmy Johnson, blues musician, 91 years of age, who is STILL active on the blues scene. 4) Fenton Robinson, wonderful jazz influenced musician who died at the young age of 62, in 1997, due to cancer. 5) Little Walter, THE best blues harmonica player I've heard, and a decent singer.

I like Blues- and Country, which has been said, is just a white man singing the blues. I like Soul Music too and combining it with the blues vocals is awesome-

The closest I come to being a fan of the blues is being a fan of blues-influenced bands, like The Doors.

I really admire old time Blues guitar players who got their start with guitars that, by today's standards, were POS instruments- it ain't easy to make a good one sound good, never mind an old piece of crap.

Exactly. The sound Robert Johnson was able to somehow get from HIS guitar is just amazing.

I am to some extent but I'm more of a smooth jazz fan. Also rock, classic and most other music except for hip hop, rap crap and metal. Even later day country is good by me. Oh yeah I don't go in for opera much either.

Thanks for your reply. You MAY like the music of Fenton Robinson. He was a blues musician with a very definite jazz sound in some of his music. There is a LOT of his music available to listen to on YouTube. Unfortunately I can't post any of it on here because the linkage system on this computer doesn't work.
