I have the same general feeling about country music (apart from western 
swing) and blues. I find them both harmonically limited, although I do 
like piano blues. Blues players like Lonnie Johnson and Big Bill Broonzy 
would appeal to me much more if they were to shut up and feature their 
guitar playing! Many years ago someone likened Johnson's singing to that 
of an Irish tenor--I could never take it seriously after that. The only 
Broonzy I like is his guitar playing and the stuff he did with jump 
bands in the late 1930s.

Someone else commented that he can't be bothered listening through 
boring singing to hear a few bars of guitar--my sentiment precisely.

Yes, Earl, I did hear your latest show. Will get round to the earlier ones.
