Hello LTG!
Yesterday, looking for some pics of mr. Buddy Guy, one of my favourites musicians, I found a not recent interview (it was made during 2009), where this gentleman talked about the Blues scene, his cicles, the crest of the wave or... you know, and other things. Here is the link:
Buddy Interview - Premier Guitar, 2009
What caught my attention and have me here writting these brief lines is related with the actual state of the music scene.
I have certain knowledge about the Blues's cicles, so what Buddy said didn't surprised me a lot. But I didn't imagine that the impulse that SRV and many others gave to the Blues revival is ending, for say something. That is something unexpected for me. I mean, I see a lot of interest in music, in Blues, so It's not easy to believe, but I guess inside the music's world things must look diferent...
In a live recording of mr. Ronnie Baker Brooks (Lonnie's son), he says, not exactly this, but it's the idea: "The people in the north want to record me, and my people won't supported me"
What I'm trying to ask?
I know that many of you, my dear folks, are musicians. If we add your experience and your knowledge to that, I would like to receive some impressions and opinions about the music condition nowadays.
How do you see the business today? What do you think about music today? What do you think about live shows? Is there a relation (not the obvious ones), between the economy situation with the music situation?
I use the Blues condition, because with it I'm a little bit more related, but this is not exclusively related with him. In a recent post I remember to have read something about country music...
Thanks for passing by!
All the best,
B.
