Haleluja, brother! The blues are without doubt one of the most soulful musical traditions in the world. Getting acquainted with this magnificent music has enriched my life beyond measure. And there are so many wonderful and delectably different bluesmen to savour: Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie McTell, Bukka White, Lightnin´ Hopkins, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Blind Willie Johnson - to name just a few off hand.

when you lean your elbow on the 12th fret. How do you notate that musically?

@Oh2BCracker: Funny story concerning that gig: Mick and Keith showed up at Furry's apartment the day of that concert to ask him if he'd open the show for them. They told him they'd be honored if he opened for them and he kept turning them down. "I'm tired of playing for rowdy teenagers who don't listen". He never heard of the Stones, didn't care who they were, and he wouldn't budge an inch. Finally, Keith said "We'll give you ten grand". Furry said, "What time you want me there?"

I (and about 50,000 other people) saw this little old man come out with his guitar, sit down and start playing and singing. Seemed a little incongruous at the time but the memory has haunted me ever since. Today I found out who he was. This was a Rolling Stones concert, Memphis, 1975. Makes perfect sense to me now.

His right hand (picking) technique is amazing. That elbow lick too.

This old school delta blues always crushes my soul down into a little ball, educates it and then releases it back to the world. Whenever I listen to this or any soulful blues, I end up reassessing the word around me. I wish everyone on earth could feel the spirit and persistence of this music. If we did, I think the world might gain more perspective and get along better.

Uncrushable spirit of human nature, awaiting better days. A lesson to us all. Also a warning we should get our lives in balance and instead of living large, live with fairness and justice toward others.
