There is plenty of good blues being made today, which may not be to your taste, but don't insult an entire generation by suggesting that none of them have any subtlety, because that just plain isn't true, and you should know that even if you don't want to admit it. I haven't seen you out at a club in years, so I don't know on what you are basing that opinion, anyway. Glad to hear that the interviews will be available for future generations to experience and enjoy, and always loved your show, and your dedication to artists who are under-appreciated, especially Louis Jordan.
