It is the artists at work in their studios listening to the music they love and thereby becoming experts. Such is the case of Jerianne Van Dijk, illustrator by day - broadcaster by night. For a day job, I am an illustrator with a constant back drop and inspiration of the music I listen to. I became a broadcaster with the goal of sharing the wonderful texture and tapestry of music with others. The Blues have a moving grind and everyday life to them.
Blues are the everyday people's music.
Everyone gets them. The music is a form of recovering joy.
