I think th Amish community would like the Blues for very obvious reasons.

       I find blues and reggae tedious in any quantity. Blues is locked into the pentatonic with nowhere to go and reggae has the eternal 3rd beat in the bar running to destruction. Both are severly handicapped by their respective formulas IMHO. To balance this, I have spent time listening to prog during this last week via all the internet radio providers and I am appalled at the majority of what I hear. This genre is currently guilty of crimes against mankind and may well have always been so. Blues and reggae may be musically claustrophobic for my tastes but the drivel pouring from these progstations is like some hideous musical nightmare. Give me a stumbling player who means it rather than some technical genius bereft of one good musical idea.   There, I've said it. Now go and listen to Chris Thile's 'Not All Who Wander Are Lost'. Musical prowess and real music.    Martin   'Down With ProgBollox' tee shirts available. One size fits nobody. Send $40 for free receipt   STREETLY ELECTRONICS - All Things Mellotronic
