Blues should be down and dirty!
Age: 57
******************************
BLUES ARE THE ROOTS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE FRUITS. - WILLIE DIXON

Born in the U.K. but currently resident in Spain, I was lucky enough to live through the U.K. blues revival in the 60's and see a lot of bands in small clubs, which determined my taste in music. The first band I ever saw live in a small club was John Mayall's Bluesbreakers featuring Peter Green, and they knocked me out, especially Greeny. I saw many others, these are a few that I remember:-

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
The Yardbirds (with Jeff Beck)
Graham Bond Organization
Climax Chicago Blues Band
Jon Hiseman's Colosseum
The Groundhogs
Jethro Tull (This Was era)
Juicy Lucy
Hawkwind
Taste
Ten Years After
Alexis Korner
Ralph McTell
Stackwaddy
Osibisa
If
Traffic
Uriah Heep
Wishbone Ash
Manfred Mann's Chapter Three
Brian Auger & The Trinity with Julie Driscoll
Memphis Slim
The Jimmy Hendrix Experience
Jimmy Smith
ELP
Eric Burdon


Today's music doesn't appeal much to me except for a few bands like QOTSA and Mark Lanegan. Some of my favourite blues artists: B.B. King, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, J.L. Hooker, Robert Belfour.

PERSONAL INFO:
Married, 2 grown-up daughters, 2 cats.

RE: FRIEND INVITES

I receive a lot of friend invites but I usually reject/ignore invites that come out of the blue. I prefer to be messaged first saying why you would like to be my friend as I usually only accept people I know or whose musical taste coincides with mine - however good your videos may be! My objective isn't to collect friends or subscribers! I put feeling before virtuosity or elaborate lyrics and my taste generally doesn't include solo singers.
If I receive an invitation out of the blue then I understand the sender obviously hasn't bothered to read my profile.

******************************

Also: thanks to my friends for all the videos they send but I only get a chance to watch but a few of them.

Music: Blues and 60's rock (heavy prog and blues-rock); my all-time favourite band is probably The Doors - although I have many)
