These are just two examples of the type of individuals who shaped the art of
music as we currently know it. From the basis of pain and suffering has come a
source of expression that affects us all because of its raw, truthful energy
that is extremely adaptable. No matter what you go through in life or where
you've been, there is a song that has its roots in blues that can ease the
feelings and thoughts going through your mind and soul. I have long said that
music is my medicine, but now I see how it afforded so much more then just my
spoiled idea of inner pain. The music has roots deep in American history and
will continue to leave its legacy through the many lives it will inevitably
touch. I owe a lot to Blues music. I think we all do. So, with that being said,
I say thank you to those who took part in the revolution of music - and,
without even meaning to, the revolution of the human spirit.
