We are following up here on Rich's desire, bless his heart, to know more about The Blues. Let me start by posting a few links to some of the more outrageous things I (with help from AdaminAdam) have said in it's defense and behalf.

I doubt I am the resident Blues scholar here, but I'll do what I can until the more knowledgeable come forth. Perhaps what I lack in knowledge I can make up for with enthusiasm. Blues is as broad and varied as Rock and Jazz are, all huge fields in their own right. There is room for everyone to contribute here, so please join in. I'll do a few posts to start out.
