Duende Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Good read!! http://jasobrecht.co...and-sebastopol/ that was interesting, thanks! Genres of music are as much mongrels as we all are these days. Wily, just out of interest in your family history what country/countries do your roots go back to? My as far as can be traced go back to Wales and France. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I had read that one before and it is an interesting read. But I can't help feeling that these academic explanations got House, Charlie, Tampa, Muddy,and others up there laughing their butts off. As Ma Rainey once said, white folks may hear the blues come out but they don't know how it got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak show Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Great read, thanks for posting that! I have always found the "traditional" explanation of the origins of the Blues lacking. It's nice to see someone challenging the old myth, but I'm sure it will be around for a long time, even if the facts speak against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
