You say "Anyway, I'm still not convinced that a career in music is the best way to stay broke." I'm not so sure 'bout that. I'm broke, have a car, some good musicians to work with ( that's a given ) and I keep either picking or wanting to pick somewhere, besides the studio. Hey, I'll soon be 55 and still lovin' it. You're one of the better musicians I've heard on Sound Click. "And don't you ever forget it" in the words of the late Jimi Hendrix. Mack

Good morning SBs. Just catching up with all the friends I've aquired. I've grown very fond of 'My Addiction' as well as your other tunes. I have a new orginal you may want to hear entitled 'Children of Babylon', written by our roadie ( of all people! ). Proud to have you as a friend on here. Mack

Hi John.
Nice reading you this morning. American music is always been big over here. I guess this is the way the Blues arrived to Italy. In the 50s Elvis was huge and he did some bluesy tunes (one for all ... Heartbrake Hotel). Also the Rolling Stones were (and still are) big. They brought the Blues over here, most of all. Remember the sessions with Muddy Waters and folks like him ? They all arrived here during the end of the 60s and early 70s.
I got into the blues thanks to the Stones, for example. Then curiosity brought me to discover the rest in a research that is still lasting now.
Money with the Blues ? I don't think so. I never made enough with it and I had to play in 4/5 bands at a time to make a living. But now it is changed ... not needing a salary from the music gets me to do everything I want, when I want and with who I want.
Blues gig were (and are) full of appassionate people, but nothing like Hip-Hop and other commercial bands.

Hey man, how ya doin'? Just stoppin' by for a quick listen, and to say howdy! Your sounding good. All's well on this side-o-the world, hope yours is too!
All the best,
...and don't forget to Boogie!
Hey dudes. New sh*** on music page. Remasters of most all of the existing tunes (sped a lot of them up) and quite a few new ones as well. Check them out.
