Thanks for your story. I started playing guitar when I was 18 in 1963, influenced by many of the same artists you mention. I never worked on it as hard as you have, but the music lives in my soul. I really got into the Blues when I moved to Chicago in 1967. I still play and sing with a little jam session but have not done anything professional for a long time. That's ok. I added Irish music to the mix where I played with other Irish musicians when I lived in Boise, Idaho. I have been back in Virginia for almost 18 years, now, amazed at how "For What It's Worth" is still so true with what is still going on today.
When I’d see Rahsaan Roland Kirk at the Keystone in SF, several times during the show when the spirit was right, he’d yell out”Bright moments! Bright moments!”
Thanks for reminding us to notice and remember them.

Yeah, we thought we’d won when Nixon resigned. Foolish children….
Indeed.
