[Ubeja Vontell]

This simply cannot be done and the reason why is in how I approach music.

Starting in the 20's

Mississippi Delta blues
St. Louis blues
Memphis blues
Texas blues
Louisiana jazz and blues
Alabama blues
Georgia blues
East coast/Piedmont

Early Applachian/hillbillie/country

All that is pre 50's and Doowop/rock and roll. Then here comes them oldies those vocal groups like the Platters.

Sure sure also into Tom Waits, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Stones, Hendrix, Joplin, Grateful Dead and on and on then it;s Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Lou Rawls, Marvin Gay and on and on.

I do have a favorite post war Texas blues tune, and here it is.



History buff here with over 10,000 records/tapes/CD's and have another one coming in the mail today, talking old Memphis cat Robert Wilkins.

 

[Beau Wring]
