I love that movie. ;)  My dad got me into the blues and that movie reminds me
of his discussion about the time he jammed with B.B. King ( do _YOU_ know
what
"B.B." stands for? ) and his stereo-wired Gibson 335 that was stolen.
Blues is an often-unexplored region of music these days at least in my

Yes, you absolutly have to do that!
Okey...as I mentioned there are some new tracks I've never heard before on
the cd, and the familiar tracks are so different, so the cd is absolutly
worth buing. I don't remember if I mentioned it, but the sound quality is
also very good.

actually, I like secular music better.  When music is secular, it's not
restrained to only ONE subject.  I get tired of music that talks about
nothing
but GOD.  Don't get me wrong, I like Christian music, and I am christian,
It's just that in music it can be restricting.
hehe.  My band plays chick magnet and I sing it.  I love the doowap part!
Dude!  he's not even a chick magnet.  I think he's kinda ugly, but he's
