Over the years Tad has gotten to sit in with a number of notable players including Jimmy Vaughn, Wayman Meeks, Blind Mississippi Morris, and Sam Carr. Once again, I was left with the impression that he had only mentioned a few of many. I asked whether he listened to the radio. I like to listen to the Shaw blues show on Sunday mornings. I'll pick up a 12 pack, hangout and listen for four hours.
Pop music sucks.
I just don't understand new music. I guess people like it because they don't have to think about it. I guess they don't have to work their brains too hard. According to Tad the three most important things about music are that it's got to have soul, a human rhythm to it, and a good sound. Tad just got back from playing a gig on Beale Street in Memphis.
