My first experience with the the BLUES was about 20 years ago. What introduced me to the BLUES you ask?? My all time favorite band LED ZEPPELIN!! I'll tell you, Robert Plant could howl the BLUES and Jimmy Page could make his guitar do things that did not seem possible. At this point, I dug into Zeppelin's roots and found out what influenced them into playing the amazing music that they play. That was it, the more I learned, the more I listened!! As time passed, my love for the BLUES grew strong.

I used to watch a friend play in southern Cali years ago, her name is Maggie. Her band was Maggie and the Midnight 30 and again this just fueled my car of BLUES (Maggie, if you're out there drop me a line!!)

Another friend shared my love for the BLUES, his name, John Heatley. We grew up together in Rialto Ca. and I watched this 12 year old kid who carried his drum sticks everywhere, turn into the incredible drummer that he is today. His first band EMERALD CUTT grew over the 10 or so years they were together...incredible stuff!! John knew my love was strong, everytime I would come back to town John would set up a gig. Derrick, Jack, Gina, John and Nacho... EMERALD CUTT reunites!!! What's up?? COMMON GROUND, John's new band, I wish you the best!!

From Robert Johnson to new comers such as Kenny Wayne Sheppard and everyone in between...I THANK YOU. When you can "feel" the pain, the sorrow, the joy of the people playing the music...you have achieved a true BLUES link, so come with me into the world of BLUES and check out the links below.

"Playing the guitar is like telling the truth--you never have
to worry about repeating the same [lie] if you told the truth.

You don't have to pretend, or cover up. If someone asks you
again, you don't have to think about it or worry about it...
because there it is. It's you."
B. B. King
