Here's a good example of blues knowledge getting bigger. You speak in a loud, clear voice with authority. When you play, you speak more loudly and with even more authority. ❤
I'd known Sue Foley as a blues player for years, but had somehow missed the point. But when I heard her cover of Gatemouth Brown's Okie Dokie Stomp, it was a wtf moment. That's one of the great instrumental blues, and she did Gate proud with her effortless playing. Ever since then, I've been all about her music. She plays as well as anyone, and sings up a storm to boot.
Though you aren't old, I see you as an inspiration to other young women who aspire to play the blues. Quite frankly, you're an inspiration to me on my blues guitar learning journey. 👍👍👍
